Sobre este artículo
Edinburgh: John Grant, 1911. First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 9.5" by 7". Rachel Ainslie Grant Duff. A very scarce volume on the dragon myth of Celtic folklore, an interesting study on mythology illustrated with colourful plates. The first edition of this very scarce work.An interesting work on the classic Celtic dragon myth, comparing different versions of the myth as they have been passed down across the ages.Illustrated with a colour frontispiece, and three colour plates. Originally written by John Francis Campbell, who started working on the manuscript in 1862. In 1870 he intensified his work on it, working until 1884. However he never saw its publication, dying in 1885. After Campbell's death, the noted Gaelic scholar George Henderson took over the work, contributing some translation work, finishing the manuscript, and writing an introduction.Collated, bound without one plate, to face page 68.Illustrated by Rachel Ainslie Grant Duff. In the original publisher's cloth binding, lacking the pictorial onlay to the front board. Externally, smart. Light bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. Only a couple of light marks to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean, with only a few occasional spots. Frontispiece is detaching. Very Good
