Description

No marks or inscriptions to contents. A clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards, very dusty top of page edges and minor bumping to spine foot and rear lower corner. Dusty dust jacket not price clipped with slight marking to sunned spine, small pieces missing from spine ends and small tears to upper corners. 445pp. The Saga presents a lively picture of the Norse earldom of Scotland in olden times. The author's study of the work sheds new light on problems of authorship, historicity and topography, and place and personal names. Very scarce in dust jacket.
