Publication: Berlin, Georgii Reimeri, 1900

Formatting: 4to, pp. [viii], 162.

Condition Report: Very Good. The volume is bound in half leather over marbled paper boards. The binding remains remarkably tight and structurally sound, with the spine presenting brightly and the gilt lettering entirely unoxidised. There is moderate rubbing to the extremities, most notably at the leather corners, alongside minor surface scuffing to the marbled paper, but the boards remain free from any severe wear. Internally, the text block is clean, crisp, and bright, largely escaping the typical foxing and toning that often plagues continental printings of this era. An attractive, robust example that has been well-preserved despite its institutional history.

Catalogue Note: First edition of this 1900 supplement to Emil Hübner's monumental 1871 corpus of early Christian inscriptions in Spain.

The volume features a notable provenance, bearing a 'Cancelled' stamp to the front pastedown from St. Deiniol's Library, Hawarden. Now known as Gladstone's Library, this renowned Welsh institution was founded by the Victorian Prime Minister William E. Gladstone and remains Britain's only Prime Ministerial library.

Original 1900 printings of this supplement are scarce on the open market in original bindings, as the vast majority of circulating inventory today consists of modern print-on-demand facsimiles.

Compiled by the eminent German classical scholar and epigrapher Emil Hübner, Inscriptionum Hispaniae Christianarum Supplementum is a foundational text for the study of early Christian epigraphy in the Iberian Peninsula. This vital supplement expands upon Hübner's original 1871 corpus, diligently cataloguing newly discovered inscriptions, epitaphs, and monuments. Written entirely in Latin, the work provides crucial documentary evidence of late antique and early medieval Christian life, making it an indispensable reference point for historians and classical scholars tracing the development of the faith through Roman and Visigothic Hispania.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
