Original Green Cloth. Etat : Near Fine. First Edition Thus. 1990. First edition thus (STS 4th series, No. 19). lx, 254pp. Johannes de Irlandia (c. 1440-1495), also known as John Ireland or Irland, was a Scottish theologian and diplomat. He wrote a book of advice for James III, who died during its compilation, and it was presented to his successor James IV. Divided into seven books, it comes from the Mirrors for princes genre, and Book III is an exposition of the Apostles' Creed. The book, preserved in manuscript in the Advocates Library, Edinburgh (MS. 18, 2, 8), and labelled Johannis de Irlandia opera theologica, is a treatise in Scots on the wisdom and discipline necessary to a prince. Usually called the Meroure of Wysdome (or Wyssdome) it is the earliest extant example of original Scots prose. In the text, and in the title of the manuscript, it is noted that Ireland finished the work and gave it to the king in 1490. The present volume completes Craig McDonald's editing of the work, and covers Books VI and VII of the Meroure of Wyssdome. The book is bound in the original green cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine. The book is in excellent condition and the contents are tight and clean with no inscription. The book comes in a clear plastic wrapper, as issued. N� de r�f. du vendeur gNet200
