Original cloth. The first leaf was partially detached and has been reinforced with acid free paper, the fore-edge is mildly foxed. A very nice, clean and solidly bound copy. The illustrations accompanying the text are wonderful. "Glückel of Hameln (also spelled Gluckel or Glikl of Hamelin; also known as Glikl bas Judah Leib) (1646 - September 19, 1724) was a Jewish businesswoman and diarist, whose account of life provides scholars with an intimate picture of German Jewish communal life in the late-17th-early 18th century Jewish ghetto." From Wikipedia, and the whole article is worth reading. Heine was related to her.
