About This Item
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Frankfurt am Main, David Zoepfel, 1562, small quarto,(196 x 150 mm)ff,(8), 300. Late nineteen-century brown crushed morocco, spine with five raised bands, gilt in compartments, sites paneled in gilt, marbled endpapers, gilt edges, by Francis Bedford.

Ascherson to front pastedown; above label of Edward Ascherson, with gift inscription from C.S.A to E.A. on front free endpaper verso dated Christmas eve 1901. Extremities very lightly rubbed, an excellent copy. The first of two Frankfurt printings by David Zoepfele that year, using the same woodcuts. The text is descended from the Low German version Reynke de Vos, first printed at Luebeck in 1498. This copy from the renowned library of the eminent British architect and book collector Sir William Tite (1798-1873), whose sale at Sothebys in May and June 1874 took sixteen days and produced the sum of GBP 19,943. It was one of the greatest collections of the time, including many rare books and historical autographs, and was almost the first of a series of great library sales of that era. A fine survival of exeptional rarety!.
