EBAY 3264

From the Folio Society, this is Edward Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire in eight volumes, edited and introduced by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, published in 2003 (copyright 1987).  The set comes in two slipcases:  volumes 1-4 together, and volumes 5-8 together.  The first set is still in the publisher's shrink wrap (torn at the perforation, but not in danger of falling off), so the books are in perfect condition.  Volumes 5-8 are all in great condition, with a little shelf wear on the slipcase (one tiny bumped place on one seam) and minimal wear on the spines, strong & crisp hinges and bindings (they all feel unread), and clean pages. 

Volume I: The Turn of the Tide
Volume II: Constantine and the Christian Empire
Volume III: The Revival and Collapse of Paganism
Volume IV: The End of the Western Empire

Volume V: Justinian and the Roman Law
Volume VI: Mohammed and the Rise of the Arabs
Volume VII: The Normans in Italy and the Crusades
Volume VIII: The Fall of Constantinople and the Papacy in Rome
