“Ceol Mor,” Maj-Gen C. S. Thomason, c.1900

General C. S. Thomason lists the publication of this seminal work as 1900, though there were apparently small editions published before this date. The book contains several hundred piobaireachds, all written in General Thomason’s ‘code’ which allowed him to place an entire tune on a 4.5″ x 8″ sheet. Besides being the largest single piobaireachd collection ever published, it is also one of the most significant. It is difficult to untangle the various early editions, but this appears to be edition V, exact publication date unknown, but certainly before 1910.

The book is in very good shape except the front cover board and cover spine have come loose from the binding. The back cover board remains attached.
