Soft Cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Latin Title page + xliii (43 inc. English title page) + Blank + half Latin title + blank +153 pages. Full imitation Vellum binding, very good, some ageing. Fold over front edge minor nicks. Contents Very good, clean & tight, no inscriptions, no fold etc. (almost mint). Rough-cut handmade parchment paper pages. The Kalendar part reproduced printed in green, red & black ink is among the oldest of the possession of Queen’s College, Oxford. It is mentioned in the Statutes which the founder sealed on the 10th February, 1340-1. It contains the names of King Edward, Queen Philippa, and the rest of the benefactors, present and future, of the college. Seems the first part was written c1295, then rewritten c1350 and then with pages of additions over the following 2-3 centuries. Text mostly English, obviously the 48 page Kalendar part that was originally hand written and here reproduced printed in green, red & black ink is in Latin or old English. But mostly English detailing the history and meaning including detailed research into many of the people mentioned. This book was printed by Horace Hart for Clarendon Press, The book itself is not that rare, but was so well produced and important when published, and now rare to find in such good original condition for sale. Please see all photographs, and be aware, due to the very good and tight condition of this copy we do not flatten/damage the structure of the book just to get a very good photograph.
