Hardcover. Bound in full leather, but front cover detached and spine chipping. This appears to be an early 19th century binding on 17th century text block. It could use a new binding. Bookplate on inside front cover with date 1909 and the name Asa P. French. Old Magg's Brother book catalogue clipping tipped to free endpaper with description of this book. Text block nice and tight. Large engraving on title page. Title page is dated 1653. 264 pages + index. Illustrated with several plates (within the text). A long section of translations of Anglo-Saxon words. First published in 1605 in Antwerp and then published in England in 1628. I can also find copies from 1673, but none of this particular 1653 copy. Margins are a bit tight at top and bottom, but never affecting text. Measures 4.5 x 6.75 inches. Please email with questions or to request photos. If you see a photo beside this listing, please be aware that its an ABE Stock Photo (whatever that is) and not a photo of this book.
