All three volumes bear a blind embossed stamp to the lower right of the title page stating " Presentation copy". This edition uses the translation made by Thomas Shelton in 1607, preceding that of any other foreign language, its nearest rival being the French rendering by Cesar Oudin (1614). The Sheldon editions were supposed to have been thumbed out of existence but in 1895 the British Museum had the good luck to unearth a copy from the library of Lord Ashburnham. In this present edition the text of the 1620 Sheldon edition has been followed throughout the whole work in order to introduced the few corrections made by Sheldon in the first part of his translation. Sheldon's translation was "as uniformly exact as it is uniformly racy and untrammelled". A heavy set. (5.9 JM HOQ 101/4 Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. the illustrations by Daniel Vierge (illustrator). Four volumes, 1906-1907. lxviii, 385, xv, 416, xxiii, 385, xvi, 421 pages : illustrations. Number 238 of an edition limited to 845 copies. A remarkable set, each volume bright and fresh; each protected by its own slipcase and endcap. The bindings are bright and pleasing, with only slight rubbing and corner wear to volume I and light bumping to the upper fore-corner of the front panel of volume II. The inner hinges of volume II are cracked, else all inner hinges sturdy. The contents of each volume are unmarked and fresh; all tissue guards are present and intact; there is no foxing to contents, plates, or guards. Contents complete; collated March 26, 2022. The very scarce slipcases are fair to good only, showing splits to joints. The equally scarce endcaps (now in Mylar) are mostly good, with cracks to hinges. The endcap for volume I is in poor condition, its cracked hinges at one point having been repaired with tape, leaving residue at edges and on spine, its label with tape-discoloration at edges, and abrasion to head and to hinges. In our opinion, this is a very satisfactory set owing to its condition and to the presence of all slipcases and endcaps.

Exceedingly rare first complete edition in English of Cervantes' masterpiece comprised of a second edition of the first part and first edition of the second part. Small quarto, bound in full crimson crushed levant morocco by Riviere & Son, gilt titles and elaborate gilt tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, triple gilt ruling to the front and rear panels, gilt turn-ins and inner dentelles, all edges gilt, engraved headpieces, tailpieces and initials. Engraved title pages and printed title page to the second part supplied in exact facsimile from the copy in the British Museum. No printed title was printed in the first volume. Translated from the original Spanish by Thomas Shelton, his first English translation published in 1612 was the first translation in any language, and took him only forty days to complete. The true first edition of Don Quixote was published in Madrid by Francisco de Robles in two parts in 1605 and 1614. The first part of Sheltonâs first English version was published in 1612 with the second part added in 1620, both published in quarto. Volume one is a second edition of the excessively rare first edition, of which very few copies exist. Volume two is a first edition, lacking the engraved title as with many copies, and believed to be indicative of an earlier state. âDuff suggested that the reason this plate is lacking in so many copies of the second part is because it was not prepared until after a good many copies had been sold without itâ (Pforzheimer 140; Grolier Langland to Wither 213). In near fine condition. Small bookplates. Housed in a custom half morocco and folding chemise slipcase. A stunning presentation of this rare complete first edition in English. Often cited as the first modern novel, Cervantes' masterpiece Don Quixote remains not only the most influential work of literature to emerge from the Spanish Golden Age, but the most important work of the entire Spanish literary canon. For its influence, innovation and critical status, it is "to Spanish literature what Shakespeare is to English" (Bloom) and has become globally regarded as "one of those universal works which are read by all ages at all times" (PMM).
