Description: (Raleigh, Walter,Sir) The Marrow of Historie or an Epitome Of all Historical Passages from the Creation, to the end of the last Macedonian War. First set out at large by Sir Walter Rawleigh and now abreviated by A.R. (Alexander Ross) An original copy Printed by W.Du-Gard, for John Stephenson Stationar, at the Sun on Ludgate Hill, London 1650.Complete with John Whittakers Portrait of Sir Walter Raleigh, often missing from this extremily rare book of which there are just a very small number of original copies still in existance. Further......I do sincerely believe, for this copy to be the only one in existance with this incredible written in a learned hand naration from Page 145 To Page 170. The hand scribed content in this section I believe to be a totaly different version of events compaired to any other printed copy. Written in an extremily rare learned hand for this period in history, by I can only believe after studying this book for approximately 11 years, to be in the hand writing of the original abbreviator Alexander Ross**, which I believe renders this volume an absolute total rarety of being the only copy of this already incredibly rare book of which there are only a very small handful still in existence. ** Images 4/ and image 5/ Bottom right: Image 6/ Enlargement. I believe this to be the signature of Alexander Ross The extremily small and neat handwriting with a quill is so incredibly precise and completely eligable. To say that I am still always in total awe by this after all the years that I have been the privileged owner, guardian also caretaker of this book, is truly a total understatement. Inside the original hardback cover are many interesting hand written remarks etc. This is truly a very reluctant sale......... Condition: This now circa 374 years old book, is in a truly delicate condition, therefore needs extremily careful handling, or professional and totaly trustworthy rebinding.
