CHAUCER, Geoffrey (c.1343-1400). The Workes of Geffray Chaucer newly printed. London: for Richard Kele, [c.1551].

Fourth edition of Chaucer's works. This edition was jointly published by four booksellers: William Bonham, Thomas Petit, Robert Toye, and Richard Kele. Copies were issued with each of their names on the colophon; Pforzheimer suggests that they were probably divided equally been each bookseller. "Various dates from 1545 to 1555 have been suggested for this edition and it has even been said to antedate the 1542 edition. From the state of the blocks, however, it appears to have been printed about 1550, and furthermore Bonham's address as given in his colophon is one which he is known to have had in 1551 … roughly this is a reprint of the 1542 edition" (Pforzheimer). Pforzheimer 174.

Folio (294 x 190mm). Title in woodcut border, division title for Roman de la rose in woodcut border, a few other woodcuts (toned, some spots and stains). 19th-century brown morocco gilt by Bedford for Pickering, edges gilt. Provenance: occasional early marginal notes – Thomas Gaisford (bookplate).
