Light bumping to spine ends a little scuffing to extremities strong and handsome; internally clean with some marginal toning to page edges top-edge untrimmed. A very good strong copy with only light wear. <br /> <br /> Published anonymously and one of only three "romance" titles written by Professor Nicholson presumably in spare moments of release from his day job which was being a very notable and respected British economist. His output more normally consisted of works on tariff reform and influential titles like "Effects of Machinery on Wages" and "Tenant's Gain Not Landlord's Loss" his works also include "A Revival of Marxism" in 1920 his last published work. When he wasn't writing studious treatises on the finer aspects of international economics and trade relations he was immersing himself into the creation of complex bits of Ancient Greek weirdness involving torrid rivalries doomed love cursed gemstones and mysterious oracular types holding forth on the wisdom of the gods.

At the time this book was made the original was held at the Berlin Staatsbibliothek but it was moved to the Moscow Library during WWII where it remains. The Visio Tnugdali "Vision of Tnugdalus" is a 12th-century religious text reporting the otherworldly vision of the Irish knight Tnugdalus later also called "Tundalus" "Tondolus" or in English translations "Tundale." It was "one of the most popular and elaborate texts in the medieval genre of visionary infernal literature" and had been translated from the original Latin forty-three times into fifteen languages by the 15th century. The work remained most popular in Germany with ten different translations into German including this one which is in a high renaissance German. This facsimile is in good condition.
