[Rarebooks] FS: Early 19th C. Handwritten Manuscript Epitaph Collection

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “Leatherbound Manuscript Collection of Epitaphs”

England, early 19th century.

DISCUSSION: A fascinating collection of early epitaphs, dating from the
16th century to 1811 or so, all written in ink on both sides of the first
75 leaves of a handsomely bound (if now very worn) late 18th century
leatherbound blank book. The handwriting can be a little hard to decipher,
but most is legible. In many cases the compiler has included an
introduction explaining the person or circumstance the epitaph relates to.
A unique and interesting late-Georgian-Regency epitaph collector's
notebook.

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 4.25"x7", 75 leaves filled in on both sides;
another 75 or so leaves are blank; late 18th or early 19th century full
polished calf with a red leather spine label with the single word
"Epitaphs" impressed in gilt.

CONDITION NOTES: The covers are rather worn, and the binding cracking in
several places, and the spine is cracked several times; a binding in
delicate condition. Contents with a little soil and toning, but
essentially very nice.- - -

PRICE:  $650-
