Item description from seller

Bilingual edition, with text in Icelandic and with some in English. Three volumes. Hardcovers in a half faux-leather bindings with marbled covers. With gilt decorations and lettering on the spines. The edges of the books are decorated with a light spatter. (lxxvi) 306 (2) + (lxii) 334 (2) + (xxxii) 414 pgs. Each volume with dual title-pages and two introductions, in Icelandic and in English. The rímur themselves are all in Icelandic. In the first volume there is a crease on the Icelandic title-page, undisruptive to the reading but noticeable. The colophon of the first book notes it as the first printing, however this does not appear in any of the other volumes. From the title-page of the first volume: "Selected by Sir William A. Craigie, with introductions on the history, meters and language of rímur." Full titles: Volume One: Rímur earlier than 1550 / Fyrsta bindi: Frá elztu timum til 1550 . Volume Two: Rímur from 1550 to 1800 / Annad bindi: Rímur frá 1550 til 1800. Volume Three: Rímur from 1800 to 1900 / Þriðja bindi: Rímur frá 1800 til 1900.…
