Here’s an interesting binding. There’s an 1823 Arequipa imprint on a pamphlet bound with the primary text, which I’ll try to identify later. Although printing began in Peru in 1584, it all occurred in Lima until national independence in 1821. The first Arequipa imprint is in the same year. The heavy grime suggests repeated study–the darker the area, the greater the use. For such a thick book, the spine is in great shape and is remarkably resilient. -- source link
