1691 Thomas Gale 1^ed England Anglo Denmark Saxony Historiae Britannicae BINDING

Thomas Gale was a 17^th-century English scholar whose fame comes primarily from his works on Greco-Roman mythology and the history of England. One of his better-known works was “Historiae Britannicae, Saxonicae, Anglo-Danicae scriptores XV” – a history of Anglo people in Britain, Saxony, and Denmark.

First published in 1691 in Oxford, this impressive folio proved to be one of the best and most authoritative histories of England and the English Empire into the 17^th-century.

This particular example is beautifully bound in modern leather. A truly remarkable tome!
