Medieval Literature

Edited by the Rev. Walter W. Skeat, introduction (pp vii – liv), text (pp 1 – 123), notes (pp 125 – 197) and glossarial index (pp 199 – 222), indexes of proper names and subjects explained in the notes, lvi & 229 pp in all, original green cloth, top edge gilt, no d/w (but I doubt whether there ever was one), top and base of spine and corners a little rubbed, otherwise in very good condition, Oxford University Press 1889

19.1 x 12.7 cm, 500g, no ISBN

In astonishingly good condition for a 124-year-old book – some of the pages in the index are still unseparated.

Reprinted in paperback 2012 by one of those American publish-on-demand publishers, and available at £18.99.  This copy is much easier to use, as it will open flat.  It will also look much better on your bookshelves . . . .
