Description:
(12mo), publisher's plain card wrappers in the publisher's printed french-fold cover, the whole wrapped in the original onion-skin dust-jacket. Limited edition, one of 550 copies issued on Japanese paper.
Translated in June 1887 by Andrew Lang, printed November 1887. From the introduction of the famous medieval French chantefable: "There is nothing in artistic poetry quite akin to "Aucassin and Nicolete." By a rare piece of good fortune the one manuscript of the Song-Story has escaped those waves of time, which have wrecked the bark of Menander, and left of Sappho but a few floating fragments."
Condition
Onion-skin jacket chipped at extremities and lightly foxed; French-fold cover slightly rubbed and soiled, lower edge toned.
