Sobre este artículo
London: Adam Islip, 1602. Bound in pebbled dark brown calf, the back with five raised bands with ornate gilt decorations, a geometric gilt ruled design to the covers, marbled end papers and edges. Armorial bookplate of J. A. Knowles Renshaw front paste down. Dr. John Alfred Knowles Renshaw (1871-1926) was a noted British physician and book collector. Very Good, the leather rubbed at spine ends, corners, edges and raised bands, final two leafs and errata page repaired at bottom corner not affecting text, undecipherable writing at head of illustrated title page, lacking copperplate portrait of Chaucer surrounded by arms of his Progenie. Internally quite clean, with a few scattered spots of browning in early pages, and small hole to leaf 7 at end. [23], 179, 178-350, 353-376, [13] leaves. Title surrounded by woodcut border. Lacking initial blank [a]1, as always. Woodcuts of Chaucer's arms and of the knight, woodcut initials. Overall a quite pleasing and handsome copy of the Second Speght edition (Seventh collected edition overall) of Chaucer's magnificent and influential works, including The Canterbury Tales, Troilus and Criseyde, The Legend of Good Women, The House of Fame, The Testament of Love, assorted ballads, and many others. STC 5080 2nd edition. Pebbled Calf. Very Good/No Jacket, As Issued. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
