It comes with a 1926 T. F. I. descriptive card that reads:
"A rare example of incunabula, supplementing all previous works of the kind and anticipating the well-known Nuremburg Chronicle. As its name implies, the Chronicarum Supplemtum describes the world's major alleged events in the history of the earth since creation. First issued in 1483, this extremely popular 'outline of history' ran into many editions during the ensuing century. The early edition from which this example is taken, now exceedingly scarce, is properly held in high esteem by all collectors. The small gothic type . . . gives a fine massed effect, which is perhaps the most outstanding feature of all early printed books." - T. F. I., 1926.
Provenance: Hans G. Goedicke Estate. Probably from Pages from the past. Original leaves from rare books and manuscripts. Portfolio set I-IV. (See Disbound and Dispersed, 131.)
T.F.I. (The Foliophiles Incorporated) or the Society of Foliophiles was an organization established by New York book dealer George M. L. Brown that compiled and issued 'leaf' books, i.e., portfolios of leaves removed from manuscripts, incunabula, and other early printed books.

Payment
PayPal is preferred for both US and international payments.
Other methods of payment may be possible.
Shipping
Domestic Shipping. Most orders are shipped to locations in the US at no additional cost. If not, shipping costs are set at a flat rate on an item-by-item basis. Media mail shipping--when available and appropriate--is inexpensive but may take between two and four weeks, especially if delivery is to the west coast. If a quick delivery is important to you, please request USPS Priority Mail or some other expedited delivery service before paying.
International Shipping. International shipping is usually done through the eBay Global Shipping Program. I know that this can be expensive, but I've switched to this method because I've had too many claims of non-receipt by international buyers. If you contact me in advance of purchase it may be possible for me to ship directly to you.
If I ship directly, I will only ship overseas using a trackable method; this can be expensive, and it is non-negotiable. Also, I will only enter true information on customs forms; if you have a problem paying your nation's customs fees, that is beteen you and your government, I have nothing to do with it.
If you pay by PayPal, I will only ship to the shipping address specified by PayPal.
All shipments are covered by my business insurance at my expense, however if you would like to purchase additional USPS insurance at your expense, let me know, and I'll adjust your invoice accordingly.
