About This Item
London: Aliciam Warren, 1664. First Edition. Hardcover (Half Leather). Very Good Condition. Attractively bound in 19th century half calf over marbled boards. Modest wear at the corners and some rubbing to the hinges. A bit of browning to the page edges, heavy to the first couple of pages, scattered foxing, first few and last few pages lightly creased, lacking the portrait frontis; mostly clean and a nice copy overall. (10), 576pp First published in 1624 and covering A-L, this is the first complete edition. In attempting to write a history of the beginnings of English law, Spelman became convinced that he needed to first write a glossary of Anglo-Saxon words. Size: Folio. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 2-3 kilos. Category: Language & Linguistics; Antiquarian & Rare. Inventory No: 045546.
