Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
8vo (signed in 2s and 4s), pp. 492 + frontispiece and engraved title-page and 8 additional plates. Contemporary plum textured roan, spine and boards blocked elaborately in gilt, boards bordered with gilt rules, edges gilt. Foxed and spotted, some plates very browned, some tissue guards excised. Scratched and worn, some fading, joints cracking at ends. Modern bookplate of Ann Ridler to pastedown. An unusual American printing of Ossian - a reprint of the same publisher?s 1806 edition - earmarked on the spine as being a ?souvenir edition, 1842? although a souvenir of what is unclear. The spine decoration is somewhat reminiscent of a Scott of Edinburgh binding tableau, though decades later and blocked instead of tooled. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 4440

Zustand: Sehr gut. A new edition complete in one volume. VIII; 195 S. Schönes Ex.; es fehlt die Seite bzw. das Blatt 39/40. - Ossian ist ein angeblich altgälisches Epos aus der keltischen Mythologie. Diese "Gesänge des Ossian" hat in Wirklichkeit der Schotte James Macpherson (1736-1796) geschrieben. Als namensgebendes Vorbild für die Titelfigur suchte er sich Oisín aus, den Sohn des Fionn mac Cumhail. Inhalt der Gesänge sind episch dargestellte Schlachten und die Schicksale auserwählter edler Helden, die sich meist um die Rettung von Königreichen bemühen. Neben dem namensgebenden Ossian, seinem Vater Fingal und seinem Sohn Oscar (der mythologische Oscar) lässt Macpherson etliche Figuren auftreten, die teils an keltische Sagengestalten angelehnt sind, teils aber auch frei erfunden wurden. Auch die Handlungsorte sind manchmal real, manchmal Fiktion. Dazu gehören: Fingals Jugendliebe Agandecca; Oscars Verlobte Malvina; Agandeccas Vater König Starno von Lochlin; Agandeccas Bruder Swaran; Oscars Mörder Cairbar, eine Spiegelung von Cairbre Lifechar; und der Heerführer Cuthullin, eine Spiegelung Cú Chulainns. Die Handlung spielt: in Morven, dem Reich Fingals im schottischen Hochland; in Selma, der Burg Fingals; in Temora, dem historischen Temair (Tara); und in Lochlin (Skandinavien). // A PRELIMINARY DISCOURSE -- Preface -- A dissertation concerning the aera of Ossian -- A dissertation concerning the poems of Ossian -- Dr Blair's critical dissertation on the poems of Ossian -- CATH-LODA, IN THREE DUANS -- COMALA -- CARRIC-THURA -- CARTHON -- OINA-MORUL -- COLNA-DONA -- OITHONA -- CROMA -- CALTHON AND COLMAL -- THE WAR OF CAROS -- CATHLIN OF CLUTHA -- SUL-MALLA OF LUMON -- THE WAR OF INIS-THONA -- THE SONGS OF SELMA -- FINGAL, in six BOOKS -- LATHMON -- DAR-THULA // u.a.
