The Vicar of Wakefield is a classic novel written by the Irish author Oliver Goldsmith, first published in 1766. It is one of the most popular and readily read works of eighteenth-century English literature, which gained cult status especially in the Victorian era.
The main character and narrator of the novel is Dr. Charles Primrose, a benevolent, though somewhat naïve parish priest (vicar) of a rural parish. The plot focuses on the fortunes of his large family. The Primroses’ lives undergo a complete transformation when they unexpectedly lose their entire fortune and are forced to move to a much humbler residence.
Ex-libris of Pauli de Judicis
The de Judicis family (also known in Italy under the name Del Giudice) is an old and influential patrician and noble lineage from Italy. The inscription directly indicates that this volume was part of Paweł de Judicis’s private library.
Half-leather binding, gilt on the spine, hand-made paper, engravings. Very good condition.
Rare edition. Later editions from the 19th century are common and lack noble provenance. This edition is highly valued at other auctions, over 300 euros.
