Descrizione
First edition, folio (465 x 330mm), 2 vols., in 4 (all published, 2 vols., of text each with an accompanying volume of plates), xii, [4], 145, [3]; xiv, [2], 263, [1]pp., printed on hand-made paper, coloured frontispieces, 201 plates (2 in colour, some double-page) prepared by Emery Walker, orig. buckram, gilt, uncut. A very nice set of Beattyís luxurious catalogue, prepared by Eric George Millar, curator of manuscripts at the British Museum. Beatty formed his superb collection in a mere six-year period. Beatty projected six volumes (each similarly divided into text and plates) to the series in his foreword, but these four were the only volumes issued; the last would have contained descriptions of manuscripts from the later Middle Ages.
