Item description from seller

In three parts, being for December and January, February March April May, and June and July. Part I illustrated with facsimile frontispiece, a folding facsimile illuminated leaf, and lithograph armorial endpiece; part II with two colour plates, colour endpiece, and black and white vignettes throughout; part III with a lithograph plate and three monochrome plates. Lacking errata and addenda. Bound in contemporary cloth. Approx. 4.25" of the backstrip is lifting and damaged at the tail of the spine, there is similar wear and some loss from bumping to the head of the spine. The extremities are bumped, with some damp damage to the edge of the boards. The hinges are starting and delicate, with a later strain after the title page of part II, and a little looseness throughout. The preliminary leaves are a little spotted, but pages are otherwise bright. A late Victorian edition of this important Medieval hagiography, complete with facsimiles and illustrations.
