Quarto. 68 pp. The text leaf is from Caxton's Polycronicon of 1482 from the third book, twenty-eighth chapter, and it is housed in a framed and recessed compartment in the rear pastedown, secured by silver hinges. Bound in original orange niger over beveled boards by Kumin of Boston, which echoes the hues found on the script of the leaf. Linear and geometric designs embossed on covers, spine gilt-stamped. Fine and bright in a black cloth chemise and matching slipcase. Bookplate of noted collector, Cornelius Hauck, on front pastedown. (BCC #14; Chalmers 79).
