Essais De Philologie Moderne (1951). Middle English "Losenger". Sketch of an Etymological and Semantic Enquiry Essais de philologie moderne (1951) is a collection of the proceedings of a conference held at the University of Liège in 1951. It includes JRR Tolkien's essay"Middle english 'Losenger'" (pp. [63]-76). All other contributions to this volume are in French.Copies presented to attendees include a printed thank you message, and their name written by hand, on the verso of the title page. In "normal" copies this page is blank.This is a genuinely very, very scarce piece. This copy is in G+ to VG condition. Remarkable to find in any state today. Pages are uncut so it is in an unread state internally with little outer wear. We've seen only a few of these over the past decade and each was in poor condition. This is a gem for the Tolkien completist and enthusiast. Rarely seen.
