About This Item
Bergen: John Griegs Forlag, 1899. Three Quarter Leather. Good/No Jacket. Norwegian language. Bound in 3/4 burgundy leather and marbled boards. 348 pages. 1899 title page date; no additional printings. A study concerning the history of Norwegian writing. This copy is signed and dated Jan. 1900 by then Professor of Scandinavian Languages Julius E. Olson (University of Wisconsin - Madison); it also carries the bookplate of Norwegian-American collector Herman Gimmestad on the front pastedown. Gimmestad acquired many of Olson's books in the 1940s. The boards show only light edgewear, the corners are rubbed, and both outer joints are cracked. The inner hinges are reinforced, so both covers are still firmly attached. The spine leather has chipped at the head and along the rear joint. The text has an occasional marginal bracket, in pencil, but is otherwise unmarked. Given the publisher, we think this copy may have been a paperback original, later bound by Olson, but we have not been able to locate any other copies, either in the US or Europe, to make a comparison. A scarce book, deserving of some professional restoration. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
