About This Item
[London]: In the Savoy, printed by T. N. for Henry Herringman, 1671. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. 218 x 156 mm. (8 1/4 x 6 1/8"). 5 p.l., 67, [1] pp.
Disbound. Wing J-1159; ESTC R695. ◆First two quires with top corner slightly gnawed away (no text affected), top edge trimmed a little close (grazing a few running titles), trio of small stains on title page, other very occasional minor blemishes and a hint of foxing on a few pages, but still an excellent copy even in its disbound state, very clean and quite bright, with none of the browning or heavy foxing often seen in similar works.
This seems to be the only edition of the only play penned by writer and Catholic convert William Joyner (alias Lyde, ca. 1622-1706). ESTC notes that it was "Based upon the story of Constantine the Great and his son Crispus," and DNB adds that "it was well received.".

About Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts
Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books an Manuscripts was established in 1978 on a ping pong table in a basement in Kalamazoo, Michigan. From the beginning, its founder was willing to sell a range of material, but over the years, the business has gravitated toward historical artifacts that are physically attractive in some way--illuminated material, fine bindings, books printed on vellum, fore-edge paintings, beautiful typography and paper, impressive illustration. Today, the company still sells a wide range of things, from (scruffy) ninth century leaves to biblical material from all periods to Wing and STC imprints to modern private press books to artists' bindings. While we are forgiving about condition when something is of considerable rarity, we always try to obtain the most attractive copies possible of whatever we offer for sale.
