Маркс, [1878]. - [14], 10, 316, [1] с., 50 л. ил. ; in-folio (41,7 см). – Доб. тит. л. на англ. яз. 50 картин выполнены Густавом Доре в технике торцовой гравюры на дереве. Все иллюстрации помещены на отдельных листах и проложены листами защитной бумаги с печатным текстом к каждой гравюре. Бумага для издания была изготовлена фабрикой «И.К. Френкель и Сын » в Таммерфорсе (Финляндия), специально разработанный шрифт был сделан в словолитни Флинша (Франкфурт-на-Майне) и О.И. Лемана (Санкт-Петербург), текст печатан в типографии В.Веллинга (С.-Петербург), а картины – в типографии Тейбнера (Лейпциг). Стамп для переплета рисовал И. Панов (С.-Петербург), гравировал на меди Гергольд (Лейпциг). Виньетки в начале и конце песен гравировали М.Рашевский и К.Вейерман в Петербурге. Великолепный составной переплет с богатым орнаментированным золотым и конгреневым тиснением по обеим крышкам и корешку (подписан: R. Gerhold / Leipzig). Форзацы из бумаги светло-соломенного цвета, имитирующей муар. Тройной золотой обрез. Художественная обложка изготовлена особым способом цветной печати (тиснение с золочением). В углу на форзаце бумажный ярлык переплетной мастерской К.В. Экгардт (С.-Петербург). На форзаце зачеркнутый рукописный экслибрис (в старой орфографии). На свободном листе перед титулом любопытнейшие владельческие записи в старой орфографии: «Этот том, при жизни моего отца, всегда лежал на свободном круглом столе в его кабинете. 1882 г.» и дарственная надпись на Пасху 1961 года. По словам А.Ф.Маркса, подготовка настоящего издания заняла более двух лет, при этом издатель, «не говоря уже об огромных затратах, не жалел ни труда, ни времени, чтобы придать знаменитому творению Мильтона, соединенному с превосходными рисунками Доре, то изящество и роскошь, какую имеют подобные издания за границей». В итоге А.Ф.Марксу удалось создать настоящий шедевр полиграфического искусства, на который ориентировались и другие знаменитые русские типографы. Свое роскошное творение издатель посвятил Ея Императорскому Высочеству Государыне Великой Княгине Цесаревне [Марии Федоровне]. Несуществен. потертости переплета, небольшие надрывы корешка в нижней и верхней частях корешка, редкие фоксинги. Первое Марксово издание Мильтона с гравюрами Доре встречается крайне редко. Даже у А.Венгерова в нюренбергском каталоге «Старая русская книга» представлено лишь более позднее издание 1895 года.

Издание обязано своим появлением известному историку великому князю Николаю Михайловичу (1859-1919). В пятитомный труд частично вошли портреты, экспонировавшиеся в 1905 г. на выставке русского портрета за 200 лет его существования, организованной С. П. Дягилевым и прошедшей в Таврическом дворце. Как писал сам Николай Михайлович в предисловии, «цель издания будет достигнута, если таким путем удастся сохранить навсегда изображения, оригиналы которых, быть может, погибнут затем от времени и неблагоприятных условий хранения». Трудно отказать этим словам в дальновидности; ведь вскоре в наступившую годину русской смуты были навсегда утрачены многие из приводимых в книге произведений русского портретного искусства. Превосходно изданные ограниченным тиражом (всего 150 экз. для 5-го тома, по сообщению А.Венгерова) «Портреты » вел. князя Николая Михайловича представляли Россию на Междунар. выставке печатн. дела и графики в Лейпциге в 1914 г.

There is a separate blot on the text of leaf and a spot on the lower margin of F1 verso. There is also some, generally faint, water staining evident in the pages of the Tabula and Register, it has not affected the text or the written notes. There is a single narrow wormhole present in the lower margins of folios A(10) to D5, well clear of the printed areas.The final leaf has a fragment torn from the upper corner possibly as the result of an attempted repair and the margin is discoloured. There are manuscript notations in margin of the tabula. There is a solitary attempt at a pen and ink decorative capital on leaf b2. Page edges dyed light red. Overall a crisp copy. The Sententiae - Sentences of Peter Lombard was the standard theological reference work of its time. And Sentences were the considered judgments and opinions of experts on questions of faith and dogma, which Lombard had collected and classified in four parts – the fourth dealing with the sacraments. The individual topics - in each part were called and numbered as so many distinctions. This work was Aquinas` thesis for his master`s degree in theology, a discussion and evaluation of earlier opinions.
