Chronicles of England, France, Spain, and the adjoining countries, from the latter part of the reign of Edward II to the coronation of Henry IV. 2 Volumes

2 volumes, leather spines and green boards, in very good condition. Binding style is similar to that shown, but with green boards and in better condition. Color frontispiece in volume 1. Textual illustrations, but no additional color or plates, as in the earlier Routledge edition. An exceptional set for a studious collector. Text is small enough to encompass the entirety of Froisaart's opus. For centuries the Chronicles have been recognized as the chief expression of the chivalric culture of 14th-century England and France. Froissart's work is perceived as being of vital importance to informed understandings of the European 14th century, particularly of the Hundred Years' War. Due to size or weight, this item may require additional postage for international or priority shipping.
