Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

This is the 1963 reissue of "The Praise of Folly" by Desiderius Erasmus. It was translated from the Latin by Hoyt Hopewell Hudson, who also provides an Essay and Commentary on the work. On the front flap of the dust-jacket, we find the following laudatory comments about this famous work : |> For four hundred and thirty years the pungent satire and polished wit of Erasmus have not only furnished delectation for the reader, but have also exerted a stimulating intellectual influence on writers and thinkers in succeeding centuries. The profundity of the great Renaissance scholar's thought, animated by the charm of his presentation makes "The Praise of Folly" one of the great and satisfying adventures in literary discovery, and Mr. Hudson's translation conveys all the wisdom and appeal of the Erasmian spirit. <| TITLE : The Praise of Folly AUTHOR : Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466 - 1536) TRANSLATION, INTRODUCTORY ESSAY & NOTES : Hoyt Hopewell Hudson (1893 - 1944) IMPRINT : Modern Library # 331 PLACE : New York DATE : [ © 1941 First Printing still on copyright page - But this copy released in 1963 ] EDITION : Reissue DETAILS : Trade hardcover (Toledano binding #8); 4 5/8" x 7", light gray cloth-covered binding with gilt lettering against black panels on spine and front cover - Modern Library device of running figure gilt-stamped on spine and front cover (Toledano #8); end-papers printed with the repeating motif designed by Rockwell Kent (End-papers D); contains an Introductory Essay, Notes and an Analysis; top text-block edge dyed black; [xliv] + 166 pages, plus 10 pages of Publisher's list; pictorial dust-jacket with picture of a pig reading a book on front panel - 1963 price still on front flap (Toledano jacket j). CONDITION : This is a previously owned book that remains clean and presentable, with the following particulars noted : EXTERIOR -- Spine extremities display modest compression; there is a slight impact dent to the bottom extremity which extends a bit onto the rear cover; Covers are clean with but mild signs of handling; corner tips are not bumped; text-block edges are clean. (Bottom edge is mildly toned) My overall impression of the cover is that it is bright and crisp. BINDING -- Solid INTERIOR -- Clean and free of marking. No underlining, no marginalia, no signatures. DUST-JACKET -- Over all the outside of the jacket displays moderate wear, with the spine panel and joints displaying discoloration (or weathering). The rear panel has slightly more wear - displaying edge weathering and a couple of small stains. Back side of jacket is toned, else clean. The original 1963 price is still on the front cover (this price only used from 1962 - 1964) The whole is protected from further wear by a clear mylar sleeve.
