Edmund Gibson - Camden's Britannia 1695 - 1971
This 1971 facsimile of Camden's Britannia is a reproduction of the original 1695 edition published by Edmund Gibson. Britannia is one of the most influential works of British topography, first written by William Camden in Latin in 1586 and later translated and expanded by Gibson. It provides a detailed geographical and historical survey of Great Britain, including its ancient sites, customs, and local histories. The 1971 edition honors the original in size and format, maintaining its historical significance for scholars and collectors alike.
In terms of condition, the book shows visible signs of wear on the cover, with noticeable scuffing and fraying around the edges. The interior pages remain in good condition. The spine has become fragile over time. The spine appears dried and brittle, and it is not firmly attached to the body of the book.
Overall, this facsimile is a valuable piece for any collector of British history or topographical works, providing access to a rare and significant text, albeit with some condition issues that should be taken into account.
Shipped from Edinburgh (UK) (This is a large and heavy folio)
