Descripción

FIRST AND ONLY EDITION of this groundbreaking study of Scottish language and culture. Edition limited to 500 numbered copies, all printed on fine laid paper. 4to. Bound in publisher's quarter morocco and cloth. Some wear to binding (especially backstrip and extremities), but holding firm. Internally uncut, FINE AND BRIGHT. Very scarce. Francisque Michel (1809-1887) was one of the towering intellectuals of the 19th century: he is remembered for editing many of the most important Old French texts, an activity he commenced at the age of 21! During the second half of his life he became fascinated woith Scotland, particularly the relationship between Scottish and French culture, language, and history.
