1st thus. 270pp, with monochrome portrait frontispiece. In bright red cloth-covered boards with gilt-blocked titles on front. Folio. . Boards very gently rounded at corners, else fresh, crisp and bright throughout. In its original dust jacket, just a little bumped along upper edge and perhaps a tad faded over spine. Translated orally for generations, the laws of the Kanun served for more than five centuries as the foundation of social behavior and self-government for the clans of Northern Albania, even while the region was nominally under Turkish rule. The importance of the Kanun in the history of the Albanian people can scarcely be overestimated, and its precepts continue to exercise a very significant influence on Albanians
