Descripción

4to., First and Sole Edition thus, on laid paper, with a frontispiece (original tissue guard present), title in red and black, and a fine double-page facsimile, parallel text in Latin and English, free endpapers browned (as usual), frontispiece and facsimile lightly spotted; original series binding of olive green cloth, blocked in blind, club badge blocked in gilt on front board, gilt back, uncut, a remarkably bright, clean copy. EDITION LIMITED TO 525 NUMBERED COPIES. New Spalding Club, publication no. 12. With the club's Seventh Report by Council (1893) and list of members (to 30 June 1894) bound in at end. Hector Boethius [or Boece] (1465-1536), first principal of the University of Aberdeen, is known for two important works of medieval Scottish history: the 'Historia Gentis Scotorum' (Paris, 1527) and his earlier Lives of the Bishops of Murthlack and Aberdeen (Paris, 1522). Of the latter work, a facsimile text in the original Latin was issued by the Bannatyne Club (publication no. 11) in 1825. The present edition remains the sole published transliteration. Moir was Co-Rector of Aberdeen Grammar School. Read 3742.
