Descrição: Approximately fifteen years ago, I purchased at David's booksellers in Cambridge a copy of the 1679 Folio of Spenser's Works. The copy is in many respects unremarkable, having been rebound in calf at some point during the last century. It has some unusual features, however. Its preliminaries have been misbound so that sig. A4 (conjugate with sig. A1) precedes sig. A2. The engraving of Spenser's tomb, which usually appears as a frontispiece to the volume and faces the title-page, is bound immediately after sig. A1. In the place of the usual frontispiece, this copy has George Vertue's 1727 engraved portrait of Spenser, which has been cropped to fit the volume.
