About This Item
Strassburg: Heitz & Cie, 1930. Facsimile. Wooden boards. Good +. Facsimile of the 1494 edition in wooden boards. Gorgeous woodcuts and fine letterpress printing throughout. Three quarter wood and quarter leather with metal clasp. Two raised bands with heavy rubbing. Loss to foot of spine. Missing first free endpaper and title page. The last page states "Publications of the Alsatian Bibliophile Society. Alsatian early prints No. 2 (Based on the ex. of the Bibliothèque Nationale et Universitaire in Strasbourg). Solomon and Marcolf is a medieval narrative describing the adventures and conversations of Solomon and Marcolf, or Marolf. The adventures have some connection with those of Ashmedai, while the conversations consist chiefly of riddles similar to those put to Solomon by the Queen of Sheba. The exact extent of its indebtedness to the Haggadah is somewhat doubtful, though it is practically certain that the various versions are derived from an Eastern original. - wikipedia
