Item description from seller

FIRST EDITION, 1880. Hardcover. Written in Latin and English. The text is primarily in Latin, while the preface is in English. Bound in half sheepskin leather and cloth, boards are a purplish burgundy with gilt lining at the leather and cloth seams. Hubbed, leather spine bears gilt stamped lettering and ornamentation between its five raised bands. Deckled edges. Three parts bound in one. Each begins with beautiful decorative pages in color introducing each part. Illustrated throughout with beautiful images and calligraphy, both color and in black and white. Fold out, full color, medieval style, calligraphed leaf appears hand illuminated and is protected by a tissue leaf. Parts are xvii, xlii, liii, main pages are unpaginated, yet stanzas and/or lines are numbered by roman numerals. Erratum slip is tipped in, in front of the title page. Ex libris bookplate from previous owner, Thomas Isaac Ball, (believed author, hymnist and Provost of Cathedral of The Isles and Collegiate Church of the Holy Spirit, Millport, Isle of Cumbrae from 1892 until his death on 3 August 1916), is affixed to the front pastedown. Copy shows overall wear and some foxing, particularly within the endpapers. Leaves are age toned, yet illustrations and text remain uncompromised, and pages are free from marginalia or annotation. Lovely illustrations. A nice copy. Additional photographs available upon request. Due to this copy's size and weight, additional shipping charge may be needed. Full refund if not satisfied.…

Store description

Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley. …
