Descrizione

First and only edition of this imortant collection of short medieval narrative poems in French, English, and Latin, which are printed here for the first time. Among the three French fabliaux is "Le meunier et deus Clers" ("The Miller and Two Clerks") which was an important source for Chaucer. Edition limited to 250 copies. 8vo. Bound in recent attractive cloth. Half-title and errata leaf somewhat discolored (surely because of contact with inferior materials in a previous binding), else fine and bright. Very rare outside institutional collections.
