Description

This is a remarkably rare volume. It is a reprint of a likely French 13th-14th century edition of the Life of Virgil. This edition is limited to 50 printed on paper and one printed on vellum for private collectors of the time. There have been no auction records within the last 80 years suggesting that very few of the original 50 paper volumes remains extant. This volume was owned by William Horatio Crawford of the Lakelands, County Cork Ireland as his book-plate attests. It is in very good condition. It is tight in the binding and has some wear on the corners of the leather binding (see pics). It's size is duodecimo or twelvemo (5 x7 3/8) with gilt edging on the leather binding. Please e-mail me with any queries and please peruse my other items for sale. I accept Paypal. Thank You.
