Limited edition of 330 numbered copies, this No. 3. A handsome edition designed by Bruce Rogers. The History of Oliver and Arthur is a mediaeval romance of historical and bibliographical interest.

There is a single record of an earlier English translation printed by Wynkyn de Worde in 1518, but no copy of that is preserved.
