Beschreibung

An uncommon work on the Friars Minors of the city of Bristol, with a note from the author pasted into the work. The Friars Minors of Bristol owned an obscure and little documented convent in the city. Founded by Francis, the son of Pietro Bernadone and Madonna Pica in the early thirteenth century, it is uncertain at what point the Friars Minors came to Bristol. The Order of Friars Minor were initially barred from owning property and forced to beg for food whilst preaching, emulating the life of Jesus Christ.Illustrated with engravings throughout.Written by G. E. Weare.With a letter from the author pasted in to the front blank: 'Subscription 6/- per copy. Should you be able to obtain names of two or three additional subscribers, please send to Thalelor Coll Steen. The searches in London cost a considerable sum & I an desirous to be repaid the out-of-pocket, as the work has been carried out under exceptional difficulties.'From the library of Audrey Pleydell-Bouverie, an English socialite and the illegitimate granddaughter of King Edward VII. She was featured by Cecil Beaton in 'The Book of Beauty'. Amongst her circle were Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, Coco Chanel, Salvador Dali, Winston and Clementine Churchill and Nancy Mitford.An uncommon work on an unusual aspect of Bristolian history. In the original full cloth binding. Externally generally smart, with just a little bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Ownership inscription to the front endpaper. Internally, firmly bound, bar a very slight strain to the rear hinge at pages 110 and 111. Pages have the occasional mark and spot. Very Good Indeed. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 793R43
