<p>[QUOTE=&quot;McAdder, post: 1113666, member: 7942&quot;]I own a couple of books that old, I dont see any reason to think that this is a reprint.</p><p>Yes it was rebacked at some point, and the binding is later than the book, I think 2manybooks is spot on.</p><p>The damage and the new back is hurting the value a lot, also that its only a first volume. Most books in the 16th century and before were printed in Latin, a language very few peple can read today, so Latin books are cheaper than others.</p><p>The book Debora found is not comparable. Around 1550 the number of books printed soared, making books printed before much rarer. (I think the price is high, as are most prices on Abebooks and other sites listing offers by professional booksellers.)</p><p><br /></p><p>However I doubt the book was written by Erasmus, if I read correctly it was written by Johannes?
