About This Item
3 volumes in 2, folio, full brown crushed morocco, covers and spine decorated in gilt (bound by Riviere), illustrated with three folding genealogical plates in volume 1, title pages in black and red, [x], 790, [2]; [viii], 312, 361-488, [3] pp. Pagination as issued and complete. Rubbed at joints and corners, some neat period ink notes in the page margins, scattered light foxing, library plates on pastedowns; overall very good. Sir William Dugdale (1605-1686) was born in Warwickshire, and became a noted antiquary, herald, and historian. He would study at the libraries of Oxford, which would lay the foundation for the information in the present work. However, before his Baronage of England would be published, he would produce his massive Monastican Anglicanun. The first volume of the Latin edition was published in 1655. The Baronage of England first appeared in 1676, and was a history of English aristocracy from Saxon times. It is considered an important work of genealogical scholarship.
