The Aeneids Of Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro 70BC to 19BC)
Done Into English By William Morris
Published by Ellis And White: London 1876

"The Aeneid is a Latin epic poem that tells the legendary story of Aeneas, a Trojan who fled the fall of Troy and travelled to Italy, where he became the ancestor of the Romans. Written by the Roman poet Virgil between 29 and 19 BC, the Aeneid comprises 9,896 lines in dactylic hexameter. The first six of the poem's twelve books tell the story of Aeneas' wanderings from Troy to Italy, and the poem's second half tells of the Trojans' ultimately victorious war upon the Latins, under whose name Aeneas and his Trojan followers are destined to be subsumed."

Light wear and fading to covers and spine. There is some damage to the edge of the back cover where it has bent up slightly about 7mm in from the edge and about 150mm along - see photo - there is no damage to the text block and the cover and bindings are in otherwise excellent condition. There are no inscriptions. Aside from some very light age marking to the prelim pages this book is extremely clean with bright pages. Very good condition overall despite damaged section to back cover. Please study photos to further understand condition.
