CATALOGUE OF MR. T. FISHER UNWIN"S PUBLICATIONS.
Autumn-Christmas Season, 1886.
"HISTORIA SANCTae CRUCIS." _With Ill.u.s.trations._
=THE LEGENDARY HISTORY OF THE CROSS=: A Series of Sixty-Four Woodcuts, from a Dutch book published by VELDENER, A.D. 1483. With an Introduction written and Ill.u.s.trated by JOHN ASHTON, and a Preface by the Rev. S.
BARING-GOULD, M.A. Square 8vo., bound in parchment, old style, bra.s.s clasps. 10s. 6d.
"The mediaeval romance of the Cross was very popular. It occurs in a good number of authors, and is depicted in a good many churches in stained gla.s.s.... It would seem that it was made up by some romancer out of all kinds of pre-existing material, with no other object than to write a religious novel for pious readers, to displace the sensuous novels which were much in vogue."--FROM THE PREFACE.
This pictorial version of the Legend is taken from a work that is now almost unique, only three copies being known to be in existence. The Editorial portions contain, besides a full paraphrase of the woodcuts, a fac-simile reprint of the Legend from Caxton"s "Golden Legends of the Saints," also much curious information respecting the early History of the Legend, the controversies in which it has been involved, and the question of relics. Copies are also given of some Fifteenth Century frescoes of English workmanship formerly existing at Stratford-on-Avon.
Altogether the book forms an interesting memorial of the quaint lore that has gathered round this "religious novel" of the Middle Ages.
