Sobre este artículo
Oxford: Printed at the Shakespeare Head Press Saint Aldgates and published for the Press by Basil Blackwell, 1933 A good to very good copy of the 2 volume limited edition of Malory's epic work, taken from the only remaining copy of the Wynkyn de Worde printing housed by the John Rylands Library in Manchester. In their original half morocco bindings with gilt titles to spine. Copy no 139 of 350 (370 originally published with 20 not for public sale). Both bindings are clean with very light marking to the cloth. In Vol I there is light rubbing to spine ends and corners, most pronounced at the top front corner. Vol II has some fraying at the top of the spine and a little leather loss at the joint with the top of the front board. There is more pronounced rubbing at the top corners. Both have rubbing to front edges. Top page edges gilt, remainder untrimmed. The endpapers are strongly marbled and there is a little splitting to the front endpaper of Vol II where the damage can be seen to the top of the spine. Contents: Vol I: 4 initial blanks; half title; title with limited edition note to verso; prologus pp i-iv; table pp v- xxviii; Fyrste Boke to IX Boke pp 1-316 with a woodcut for each Boke; 3 final blanks. Vol II: 4 initial blanks; half title; title with note to verso; Boke X - Boke XXI pp 1-373 with woodcuts for each Boke plus an extra one in Boke XXI; notes 3pp; 3 final blanks. Tissue guards have been inserted between a number of text pages in Vol II from p 248 onwards. The contents are in near fine clean condition. There is the odd spot at the page edge but little sign that the volumes have been read.
