About This Item
Oxford University Press, 1940 8vo (23 cm), XVI, 256 pp, 3 plates. Publisher's cloth, gilt-lettered spine (binding slightly rubbed at extremities). The first edition of a bibliography dedicated to English historian Edward Gibbon (1737-1794), renowned for his seminal work "History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." Primarily focused on editions published before 1838, this bibliography provides comprehensive collations of all editions released before 1800, as well as significant editions thereafter. The introductory essays aim to contextualize the collations within a broader historical and bibliographical framework, appealing to both general readers and bibliophiles.
