The Dialogue Or Communing Between The Wise King Salomon And Marcolphus Scholars Choice Edition PDF Download

Excerpt from The Dialogue or Communing Between the Wise King Salomon and Marcolphus NO apology will be needed for this reproduction in facsimile of a book so full of interest both for the scholar and the bibliographer. For the benefit of those who find the reading of black letter irksome, a reprint in Roman type has been added while the bibliography of early editions at the end of the book will, it is hoped, assist those who wish to study the subject more fully. In the introduction I have endeavoured to give, as shortly as possible, an account of the growth of the legend, and I must acknowledge my special indebtedness to two writers on the subject, J. M. Kemble and M. W. Maccallum. I must thank Mr. E. B. W. Nicholson, Bodley's librarian, for permission to have the original reproduced and the photographer of the Clarendon Press for the care which has produced so good a result. To my friend Mr. F. Jenkinson, librarian of the University Library, Cambridge, I am indebted for much kind help. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
