Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

A newly edited edition. A complete set of three large volumes published in 1844. Each volume is bound in black textured full-leather with six gilt bands to the spine, and gilt decorated edges to both front and back boards. All edges and interior endpapers marbled. With thirty-three engraved plates - eleven in each volume. All plates present, as called for - some have a degree of foxing. Many other smaller engravings within the text. Edges of boards rubbed and worn especially at the edges of the spines - commensurate with age and handling over the last 180+ years. Corners of boards rubbed and worn. All pages tightly bound. Interior pages generally clean, but with some light foxing and browning throughout. Please note that there is some water staining affecting the last 100 pages or so of Vol. II - the text is still quite legible though. Each volume has an ownership bookplate 'Wilfred Sanderson' on the front pastedown. Original integral reading ribbons to each volume. Spines to all three volumes tight. No cracking to the bindings whatsoever despite the size and age of the books. ***Each volume 260mm x 170mm. 3476 pages in total. Vol I: 1161 pages including Index, Vol II: 1131 pages including Index, Vol III: 1184 pages including Index. ***'"The Actes and Monuments" (full title: "Actes and Monuments of these Latter and Perillous Days, Touching Matters of the Church"), popularly known as "Foxe's Book of Martyrs", is a work of Protestant history and martyrology by Protestant English historian John Foxe, first published in 1563 by John Day. It includes a polemical account of the sufferings of Protestants under the Catholic Church, with particular emphasis on England and Scotland. The book was highly influential in those countries and helped shape lasting popular notions of Catholicism there. The book went through four editions in Foxe's lifetime and a number of later editions and abridgements, including some that specifically reduced the text to a Book of Martyrs.' (Wiki) ***A fabulous three volume set of "Fox's Book of Martyrs" in very good original condition. Beautiful heavy and large early-Victorian bindings. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. ***PLEASE NOTE - this is a very heavy three-volume set weighing nearly 7 kg without any packaging, and so extra charges will be requested over and above our ABE default price for destinations outside of the UK.
