Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

A good copy of the 2nd edition of Holinshed's Chronicles bound in 3 volumes. This edition is particularly known for its association with William Shakespeare who used it for historical background for example in Macbeth. It lacks the extensive woodcuts found in the 1st, but has ornate initial capitals and head and tailpieces. This set was rebound in full morocco leather in the 1800's. The bindings have flat spines with gilt titles and volume numbers and gilt lining. The boards have gilt lining around the edges and gilt dentelles on the inner edges. Endpapers are marbled and all volumes have silk bookmarks. The leather is worn on the edges, spine joints, spine ends and corners but the bindings are currently sound. Vol I has a small closed tear at the top spine end. Vol II has a scuff across the front board. All page edges are gilted. The 2nd edition brings the history up to the date of publication and, as such, attracted the displeasure of Queen Elizabeth I who had clear views on how her reign and actions should be recorded. The Archbishop of Canterbury was required by the Privy Council in February 1587 to recall the work and reform it. The process of printing large works was very different to that of our digital world and the censorshjp and revision process must have caused chaos at the printers. Sections of the work on Scotland in Vol I and parts of the Chronicles of England are affected and all copies reflect the censorship mess to some extent with odd pagination, cancels, substitution and gaps in some copies. This set is largely complete (lacks title to Chronicles of England and the colophon). Very different thicknesses and colour of the paper suggest where sections have been substituted and there are several instances of mispagination. Contents - Vol I: title and prelims [viii]; text 250 pp; Historie of England in 8 books; [iv]; 202 pp; title The Second Volume of Chronicles [containing Ireland and Scotland] [viii]; Ireland pp 9-61, blank verso; title Irish Historie, [xii]; 183 pp with blank verso; title - Description of Scotland [2]; text pp 3-23 blank verso; title Historie of Scotland [blank verso]; preface 2pp; text 29-404; Annals of Scotland pp 405-464 ; table alphabeticall First to Fourth 53 pp; Colophon January 1597 1p. Vol II: lacks title - text covers William I to Henry VII- [vi]; text 1-798. Vol III: text (from Henry VIII) pp 799 - 1267; Continuation - preface 1268-9, text 1270-1592; third table 58pp; lacks colophon. The contents generally bright, clean and sound. There are some minor areas of staining or marking, some paper repairs, and some mispagination. Please enquire if you would like to see the details on each volume and/or further images.

Shop-Beschreibung

We are a small online bookselling business specialising in rare and unusual books, generally published before 1900, with a focus on natural history, history, illustrated works and some literature. We are based in the beautiful Orkney Islands and have a specialist Orkney/Shetland section in our listings. We run a bookshop in Orkney - Birsay Books - where we have a wide range of stock from science fiction and fantasy to maritime and, of course, Orkney/Shetland and Scottish material. We take images of all of our books to supplement the online descriptions, and are always happy to provide more on request. When you order from us, we ensure that books are properly packed to protect their condition and we always use recorded or 'signed for' postal services for additional security. Because we are based on an island which depends on ferries and flights for shipping, we can not guarantee 'next day' delivery. We will simply get your purchase to you as quickly and safely as we can.
