Most of the books included in this lot are quite common, but there's an offprint of Middle English "Losenger" hiding in here that might be of interest to some.

Essais de Philologie Moderne (1951) is surprisingly common, actually, and often for cheap. I've bought several copies myself over the years (and given away all but one). You'd likely do much better to wait for it to turn up, if that's all you want from this lot.
