Folio. xix, (ii), 554pp. A masterful reproduction of one of the jewels of English print history, and certainly the apotheosis of Morris, his Kelmscott Press, and the Arts & Crafts movement. With an introduction by John T. Winterich and a glossary of terms for those unfamiliar with Chaucer's Middle English lexicon. Bound in ivory cloth stamped to replicate the patterning on the original deluxe edition issued in white pigskin. Mild rubs to extremities, else a fine copy in a near fine dust wrapper.
