Folio (approx. 32 x 21cm) full calf, rebacked, with raised bands, original black title label, gilt to spine and original boards with gilt borders. Corners restored inside. Original marbled endpapers and decorative gilt dentelles. All edges yellow. [12], 660pp. [24]. Frontispiece with the Gower portrait. Text printed in Black Letter in two columns. LACKING GATHERS A, B AND C (24pp.) which include the Life of Geffrey Chaucer (12pp.) with coat of arms but none of the principal text. '1686' handwritten next to date on title page and faint, partially erased inscription to top of title page. Lower, outer corner of frontispiece has been repaired (please see photo). A few small repairs to foredge of first few pages, thumb-sized loss to foot of p.565, and small loss to foredge of p.611-614 due to worming. Occasional light foxing and small scorch marks but overall very clean internally and binding nice and firm. Board edges somewhat worn and boards lightly scratched and rubbed (please see photos).
