A mid 16th century fourth and final edition of the Chronicle of Fabian, being among the best and most complete early histories of England, which also served as a significant source for Shakespeare’s history plays, and a valuable record of the earliest naval engagements fought by England.

The titles are within decorative woodcut borders, and there are beautiful woodcut initials throughout.

Volume One has been bound in contemporary calf and rebacked, while Volume Two has been fully rebound in modern calf to match the style of the first.

Leaf n1 is lacking from Volume One. Leaves PP3, ZZZ2-ZZZ5 and BBB1-BBB6 are lacking from Volume Two.

Two finely bound volumes in folio, A-B6 a-z6 2A-G6 H4; 2a-2z6 2A6-3A6 3B6(±3B3-5)

These volumes are in good shape, the title of Volume One with loss to the margins and repaired with later paper. The first few leaves of Volume One have repaired margins from worming and small closed. Leaf k5 has a long-closed tear into the text from the outer margin, leaf D2 has a tear to the lower corner, and H4 has an old repair to the inner top margin. Three is also some marginal worming mostly affecting gatherings q-u and ll-zz. ll2 has been mispaginated as ll3 in Volume Two. There is some staining throughout to the outer margins.
