Beschreibung

2 p.l., 385, [1] pp. Small 8vo, disbound (some pale dampstaining & browning), uncut. The Hague: A. de Hondt, 1723. The uncommon sale catalogue of the library of Dalmann; this is one of the "meritorious catalogues recommended by J.G. Schelhorn." Taylor, Book Catalogues, p. 225. Taylor states that he was tempted to include all the catalogues from Schelhorn s list found in his Anleitung, including the Dalmann, to his own list of catalogues of private libraries recommended for reference use (pp. 223-66 in Book Catalogues). This was a large library of 3634 lots (1426 lots of folios, 1305 lots of quartos, and 903 lots of octavos and smaller format books). There are an unusual number of 16th-century Spanish books, what appears to be a wonderful set of De Bry, early books in Greek, fine architectural books of the 16th and 17th century, and some rather good incunabula. Manuscripts are included. Very good copy. ? Loh, VI, p. 129. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 6633
