Nine years ago I acquired the translation and I just now got the full three volume set. Houghton is now the undisputed world center for Man of Honour studies. (Hopefully someone cares, it is by all accounts terrible, but i can't resist a lost book.) <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/NewAcquisition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewAcquisition</span></a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/RareBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RareBooks</span></a> <a href="https://glammr.us/tags/Libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Libraries</span></a></p>
