About This Item
Reykjavik: A Kostnad Sigm. Gudmundssonar, 1884. Soft cover. Very Good-. Icelandic language (at least we suppose so - it's difficult to differentiate from Norwegian and Danish). Bound in the original printed wraps; 76 pages. An Icelandic saga of medieval origin. Signed by the publisher, Sigm. Gudmundsson, to Professor Rasmus B. Anderson, one of the era's preeminent Norse researchers and a professor of Scandinavian Languages at the University of Wisconsin (Madison). The rear wrap carries other titles by this publisher. The wraps have been reinforced at the spine with an old-fashioned cloth tape, which appears to have kept this fragile volume together over the years. The outer wraps show mild toning and are slightly chipped at the edges. Internally the paper shows only faint toning and is not brittle; there is a slight bump at the upper corner. Very scarce in any form. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
