Description

No marks or inscriptions. No creasing to covers or to spine. A very clean very tight copy with dull unmarked olive/brown boards, slightly dusty page edges and very minor bumping to upper corners. 171pp. At one time thought to have been lost, this 13th century work was (re)discovered in the 19th century. It concerns Gryme the Fisher, the founder of Grymesby (Grimsby), Havelok the Dane and his wife Goldborough. Much work has been put into its translation from Early English and details of this work are included as well as a lengthy Glossarial Index. Introduction dated 1902. Very scarce early edition.
