About this Item

original boards much worn and bumped, crudely rebacked at spine, binding cracked between half-title and title pages, some brown-spotting throughout, but not severe, text generally clean and tight otherwise, 334pp. Scarce. Presumably pseudonymous work of oddball scholarship, includes anecdotes of the regalia and royal vestments, disused ceremonies, assistant officers etc, plus a lot of chronological anecdotes from the Middle Ages. Worthwhile rebinder. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
