The Armour Archive

I am selling these books to pay for some white leather. I have enjoyed having them in my posession, but it's time they moved on to new homes.

ALL PRICES ALREADY INCLUDE POSTAGE

First we have a small hardback edition Tales of Froissart from 1899. It is illustrated, the cover is gorgeous and it has all the great knightly stuff in it that we all love to read. It has an inscription (it was an X-mas present in 1913.) 368 pages.

SOLD

Next we have a first edition of Sir Nigel by Arthur Conan Doyle. It has an ex-libris stamp. Dust jacket is missing. Wrapped in green cloth with slight fading to the spine. This one will be hard to part with.

SOLD

Next up is a paperback copy of The Art of Courtly Love.

SOLD

Next up is a 1988 version of The White Company by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is a reprint of an earlier version and includes illustrations by N.C. Wyeth. A tight copy including the dust jacket. Book itself is wrapped in gold and green cloth with a gold inscription on the front and spine. Spine of dust jacket has faded a bit. Illustrations are in color.

SOLD

Next up is a first American edition of Tournaments by Barker and Barber. It's in near-mint condition and filled with GREAT illustrations. Probably the best work on tournaments, deeds, Pas d' Armes, challenges and formal jousts ever written. Dust jacket is present and also in near-mint condition.

SOLD

Next we have a neat book that I really love. It's the first American edition of The Mystery of King Arthur by Elizabeth Jenkins. Book is in near-mint condition. It's a great guide to everything Athurian. Illustrations are freaking fantastic, with lots of great pictures from the 14th and 15th century. Dust jacket is present and is wrapped in a clear plastic jacket. A REALLY COOL BOOK.

SOLD

Up next is The Medieval Horse and it's Equipment edited by John Clark and published by the Museum of London in 2004. Dust jacket is present. A treasure trove of info on medieval horse shoes, bridles and other tack.

SOLD

Vitus,

I would like the Medieval Horse and Equipment and Tournaments books to help your leather fund. Send me the total and your paypal addy or address and I will get you some money out.

Thanks

Frank

Next up we have a two-volume 1901 edition of Chronicles of France, Spain and England by Jean Froissart. Books are wrapped in green cloth with embossed gold lettering. Pages are clean and the edges are rough-cut. This is the most extensive compilation of Froissart's true-life adventure stories of 14th century chivalric war that I have ever found in an affordable set. The second volume also includes Voltaire's history of Charles XII. This is not the lame-ass Penguin Froissart that everyone knows- this is the real deal with emphasis on the stories of knightly deeds and adventures from the first half of the 100 Years War. Perfrect for the 14th century mafia type that likes to read for inspiration.

SOLD

Volume Two

Last up we have a paperback copy of The Book of Deeds of Arms and of Chivalry by Christine de Pizan.
In great shape. 219 pages.

SOLD

PM sent

Payment has been sent for the two volumes of Froissart and the Christine de Pizan.

Thanks!

I will sell the remaining volumes together for $80.

That's the first Froissart, the first edition of Sir Nigel and the Arthurian book.

I'll take em.
