About This Item
Co-Operative Publication Society, 1920. Hardcover. Very Good. No date, circa 1920, very good + black cloth hardcover (no dust jacket with blindstamp decoration to cover and spine and gilt letter to spine) shows mild soil and shelf wear to covers, mild bumping to couple of corners, light soil at page edges, along with some other light trace wear including some stiffness and waviness to pages. 576 pages with frontispiece. This remains a pleasing copy of this installment in the works of Washington Irving that here features Romantic history and shorter non fiction pieces.
Synopsis
Although the following Chronicle bears the name of the venerable Fray Antonio Agapida, it is rather a superstructure reared upon the fragments which remain of his work. It may be asked, Who is this same Agapida, who is cited with such deference, yet whose name is not to be found in any of the catalogues of Spanish authors? The question is hard to answer. He appears to have been one of the many indefatigable authors of Spain who have filled the libraries of convents and cathedrals with their tomes, without ever dreaming of bringing their labors to the press.
