Add to basketItem description from seller
hardback, octavo, English translation from the German of the 1802 first biography of Bach. Original paper covered boards but lacking spine, the text block remains tightly sewn, title page with marginal loss at head, previous owner details to the front free endpaper. Signs of now inactive worming to the gutter at both front and rear with a marginal trace to the plates at the rear. Of the two plates, one is double sided. xi + 116pp. Much debate as to the translator, who in the early days was thought to have been Samuel Wesley, then by a man known simply as Mr Stephenson, and more latterly, it is suggested by A C E Kollmann. Scarce.
