Description:
(Folio) 46.4x29.5 cm (18¼x7¾"), gathered unbound "in sheets", signatures untrimmed. One of 150 copies, printed in handset Lutetia type on Cromwell handmade gray paper, with decorative initials drawn by Bruce Rogers. The text was based on that established by Kittredge.
A complete unbound set of sheets for one of the most ambitious productions of the press. The press offered copies for sale, though many were given as gifts by the proprietor. Ordinary copies offered for public sale were bound in three quarter morocco and slipcased. However, well over a third of the edition was never bound, presumably to accommodate individual binding tastes, or the economics of the time.
Condition
Ding to first 7 or so leaves, more pronounced on preliminary blank and title leaf; overall very good or better.
