Important Reference Library<br />
Including the Library of Roland Hartmann<br />
Vol. 1–3<br />
Each volume with c. 500–600 pages, more than 2000 lots<br />
and hundreds of colour illustrations<br />
Three volumes – one reference library<br />
Antiquariat Bibermühle offers in catalogues 63, 64, 65 an incomparable reference<br />
library totalling about 6.500 lots that leaves nothing to be desired by bibliophiles<br />
and scholars.<br />
The first volume is entirely devoted to early written and printed book culture: viz.<br />
palaeography, manuscript illumination and printing in the 15th and 16th centuries.<br />
Within this framework some hundred colourful facsimile editions provide<br />
us with a vivid picture of this period. The second portion opens a widespread panorama:<br />
It includes bibliographies and reference works concerning literature and<br />
art, history and cultural history, theology, geography, natural sciences, technology<br />
etc. and closes with no less than 800 personal bibliographies. Books about books<br />
are gathered in the third volume: Here are to be found standard and specialized<br />
studies, catalogues and bibliographical lists in the fields of book and library lore,<br />
printing history, bibliophily, art of writing and bookbinding, book illustration<br />
and book plates.<br />
The collections of the antiquarian booksellers Roland Hartmann, Carlo Alberto<br />
Chiesa, Tammaro de Marinis and parts of that of <strong>Heribert</strong> <strong>Tenschert</strong>, all grown<br />
over decades, are now assembled in one work, that fascinates by the abundance,<br />
quality and concentration of the material, the numerous special and luxury editions<br />
offered, the mostly immaculate bindings of the leading masters as well as<br />
famous provenances. The condition of the collection is outstanding: A large part<br />
is bound in red half morocco and in mint condition, witness of an appreciation of<br />
bibliographical literature nearly never found nowadays.<br />
The carefully edited catalogue contains about 1.500 colour illustrations and is –<br />
unique for a catalogue of this subject – made accessible by comprehensive indexes.<br />
In short, it is a reference work advisable to all book-lovers.
