Sobre este artículo
The Clarendon Press and Henry Frowde, Oxford, London and New York. 1903. Beautifully bound in three-quarter vellum over marbled boards. Octavo, 732 pages plus useful 147 page glossarial index bound in at the back. Ornamental spine in the Art Nouveau style with gilt twining stem and flowers. Title and publisher labels lettered in gilt. Marbled endleaves, matching the paper used on the binding. Pictorial frontispiece. Aside from minor soiling, this is a superb example of the Book Arts that flourished at the turn of the twentieth century. This edition of Chaucer's work is edited from numerous manuscripts by the Rev. Walter W. Skeat, noted scholar and professor of Anglo-Saxon at Cambridge University. Prized for their beauty and representation of literary achievement, these bindings have become difficult to find in fine condition.
