[FINE PRESS]. [ASHENDENE PRESS]. The Wisdom of Jesus The Son of Sirach Commonly Called Ecclesiasticus. [Chelsea: The Ashendene Press, 1932]. 4to. [6, blank], [ii], 1-182, [8, blank] pp. Bound in publisher’s full orange vellum with original silk ties, spine lettered in gilt (a few gutters lightly overopened). Bright and fine, one of the best copies we’ve seen with the vellum color vibrant. ONE OF 328 PAPER COPIES PRINTED IN RED AND BLACK IN SUBIACO TYPE. Housed in later brown cloth case. Subiaco in the irregular verse lines, with drawn letters, red shoulder-notes and such a text cause this to be regarded often and justly as a favourite among all Ashendene books”. Franklin p. 242.
