Excerpt from Tirant Lo Blanch: A Study of Its Authorship, Principal Sources and Historical Setting It therefore afiords me great pleasure to be able to announce that the Hispanic Society of New York has in its possession a complete copy of the edition of 1497. It is gilt edged and is bound in leather of a yellowish, almost brown, color. Its back is decorated with gilded lines and bears the title Roman del Cavaller Tirant Blane ibarcelona I 1497. The title page is missing, but at the end of the book a fragment of paper bearing the words Tirant lo Blanch in large letters is pasted on a fiyleaf. This fragment is probably a part of the title page. The edges of several pages at the beginning and at the close of the book had been torn, but they have been neatly mended. A considerable number of pages are somewhat soiled, but all are easily legible. The facsimile reproduction of a page of the fragments in Barce lona, which Givanel Mas has inserted in his work, coin cides exactly with the corresponding page of the book in the library of the Hispanic Society. This author has also set forth other interesting details concerning the edition of The colophon of the edition reads.
