Description

Very Rare First Edition of the first translation of Virgil's Aeneid into Scots, and the first into any vernacular British tongue. Black letter, woodcut initials, title and imprint within illustrated woodcut border [McKerrow & Ferguson 49) several woodcut initials throughout. Quarto-in-8s (200 x 140mm), 17th century paneled calf, later lettered 'Charleton' in gilt on upper cover, spine in six compartments. An excellent copy, perhaps lacking final blank bb8 although Pforzheimer suggests this was used to print the ninth leaf in gathering X present here, some staining to Cl-6, a few other leaves with some light staining, some soiling, some wear to top corners from gathering u on, some softening of paper at fore-edges of final few leaves with consequential light chipping, light dampstain from gathering z. With the scarce leaf [bb7] with 'Ane exclamacion aganis detractouris,'. Spine with wear and with a few remnants of label, top corner of lower board softened.
