Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First British Library edition. Quarto [29 cm] Teal cloth over boards with a gilt stamped title on the spine. The covers are just a little cocked. In the illustrated dust jacket, with light scratching to the rear panel. May require extra postage due to weight. From the dust jacket- "This celebrated medieval picture-book tells the Biblical story, focusing upon the Creation to the Flood, the Life of Christ, and the Apocalypse, with the help of illustrations of everyday 14th-century England. It is only loosely based on the Bible and includes plenty of apocryphal episodes, for example Christ 'surfing' on sunbeams as a child, and God telling Noah to hurry up with the Ark so that he is forced to finish the top section in wicker rather than wood. The costumes, tools, weapons and buildings in the pictures give a near documentary-style representation of many occupations in the age of Chaucer, such as dyer, smith, carpenter and midwife. The depiction of drapery, textiles and clothing is exceptionally well realised; the people could almost step right out of the page and perform a medieval miracle play in front of us.".
