Translated from the Latin with preliminary observations and copious notes by Rev. Charles Swan. Lowndes 883. A collection of short stories and parables likely written and gathered by a priest around 1300 A.C.E. according to the available historical evidence. An anthology of didactic literature with stories that most modern readers consider to be macabre and highly unsettling. However there is a consensus among scholars that these stories inspired Boccaccio Shakespeare and other later works of classic literature. Swan's translation was frequently reprinted and makes the medieval text accessible to English readers. The corners rubbed through and the joints quite worn with the rear joint of volume two split but still holding. An armorial bookplate on each front pastedown. C. and J. Rivington hardcover
