Title: Original leaves from famous European books
Author: [LEAF BOOK]
Seller: David Brass Rare Books, Inc. (United States)
Description: Londion: The Folio Society, 1961. Twelve Centuries of European Printing The Folio Society's Monumental Leaf Book of Great Presses and Masterpieces [LEAF BOOK]. Original Leaves from Famous European Books. London: The Folio Society, [1961]. One of only 100 sets compiled and issued by The Folio Society. Large folio (22 x 15 3/4 inches; 560 x 400 mm.). Introductory descriptive leaf followed by twelve original leaves, each individually matted on gray card and accompanied by bibliographical commentary. Housed in the publisher's navy blue cloth clamshell case, spine with gilt-lettered red morocco label. Some light wear to case, minor chipping to spine label, slight cracking at corners, and a small bump to upper front corner. A few leaves with light foxing or marginal toning; occasional offsetting from original mounting adhesive. Overall a fine, clean, and highly attractive set. An exceptionally ambitious and beautifully conceived survey of the history of European printing, spanning more than three centuries of typographic achievement and incorporating leaves from some of the most celebrated presses and editions ever produced. The contents comprise: St. Augustine, De Civitate Dei (Rome, 1470) Liber Chronicarum - the Nuremberg Chronicle (1493) The Aldine Dante (Venice, 1502) Ovid, Metamorphoses (Lyons, 1584) Estienne's Herodotus (Geneva, 1592) A Plantin Missal (Antwerp, 1610) The Elzevir Sallust (1634) Imprimerie Royale, Médailles (1723) Ibarra Bible (Madrid, 1767) Aesop's Fables (Paris, 1769) De Imitatione Christi (Paris, 1788) Thomson's Seasons (Parma, 1794) Particularly desirable are the two incunable leaves - the Roman De Civitate Dei and the celebrated Nuremberg Chronicle - together with the finely printed Aldine Dante and examples from the great Plantin, Elzevir, and Imprimerie Royale presses. The set was issued in an edition of only 100 copies and was intended not merely as a collection of fragments, but as a coherent historical panorama of European typography, illustration, scholarship, and book production. In both conception and execution it remains one of the most elegant twentieth-century "leaf books" ever produced.

Title: Viking Warrior Versus Anglo-Saxon Warrior: England, 865-1066 (Osprey Combat, No. 27)
Author: Williams, Gareth
Seller: Yesterday's Muse Books (United States)
ISBN: 9781472818324
Condition: Near Fine
Description: New York: Osprey, 2017. 1st Printing. Soft Cover. Near Fine. 7x0x9. Dennis, Peter. First printing. Minor edge wear. 2017 Soft Cover. 80 pp. In the two centuries before the Norman invasion of England, Anglo-Saxon and Viking forces clashed repeatedly in battle, with mixed success for both sides. After the Vikings defeated three out of the four great Anglo-Saxon kingdoms and came close to defeating the fourth in the 860s and 870s, they conquered and settled large areas of England. The surviving West Saxon kingdom in turn conquered the Viking settlements in England to create the first unified English kingdom in the mid-10th century, before a new wave of Viking raids led to the Danish conquest of England in 1016. Fifty years later a Norwegian army sought to conquer England again, under the leadership of the celebrated Viking warrior Harald Hard-Counsel. His defeat at Stamford Bridge in 1066 is often seen as the end of the Viking age in England. The two sides are seen as very different in popular perceptions, but how much are these differences based on fact, and how much on the bias of the surviving contemporary accounts and later historical traditions' And how far did the two sides learn from each other in the course of 200 years of conflict' Drawing upon historical accounts from both English and Scandinavian sources, and on archaeological evidence, Gareth Williams presents a detailed comparison of the weaponry, tactics, strategies and underlying military organization of the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, and considers the developments which took place on both sides between the arrival of the Vikings' 'Great Raiding Army' in 865 and the battle of Stamford Bridge.
