Description
Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1950. First American Edition. Octavo. 21cm. Publisher's brown cloth titled in gilt to spine and front board. [xv]; [1]; 257pp. Light bumping to spine ends, a little scuffing and rubbing to the corners and extremities, with some slight dulling to the gilt, strong and solid; internally clean and fresh, inscribed by the author to the front flyleaf. A very good, handsome copy, lacking its dustjacket. Inscribed by the author: "For William J. Entwistle, very cordially, Lesley Byrd Simpson, Berkeley, September 1950" The William Entwistle in question is almost certainly William James Entwistle, British scholar of Romance languages with a special focus on Spanish which extended well into the fields of history, folklore and anthropology, rather than being limited to linguistics. From the library of Nathaniel Tarn, noted poet, translator and professor of anthropology (with a special interest in Native Americans in former Spanish-colonized areas).
