Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. One of 500 copies. Octavo. (48)pp. Illustrated with twelve full-page and two smaller engravings in copper by Buckland Wright. "Musaeus, writing in the fifth century A.D., was almost the last of the classical Greek poets, and his version of the age-old legend is the best," states the Press's bibliography.
