What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Leather Binding, Scarce
French. Scarce work. With a frontispiece. A lyrical poem in prose written as an imitation from the Greek of Eustathius Macrembolites, a Byzantine revivalist of the ancient Greek romance. The style is considered remarkable by both contemporary and modern critics for the absence of hiatus and a laboured use of antithesis. Originally translated into French by Pierre Francois Godard de Beauchamps, a French playwright, theater historian, libertine novelist and translator.
Condition
Bound in quarter calf with paper covered boards. Externally, sound with light rubbing and minor bumping to the extremities. Minor fading to the spine with the odd small mark to the boards. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot. Minor age toning to the extremities with a contemporary ink inscription to the front endpaper.
