Illustrated boards, 4to, 294 pp, plates, ills. 122 lots. From the introduction: "In the past quarter-century no collector of early printing, probably, has placed a stronger and more original focus on the textual contents of his acquisitions than J. R. Ritman. This has resulted in the formation of the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica in Amsterdam, an internationally famous and energetic library that has become a centre for research in Neoplatonic, Hermetic and Rosicrucian thought of a kind that never existed before. In view of this foundation interest in the texts and textual significance of his books, it seems more than appropriate attempt to provide, in an extensive index to this catalogue, an analytic guide to the textual contents of the approximately one hundred fifty incunables offered both here and a year ago in the Sotheby's sale of 6 December 2000 (the sales designated as II and I respectively). Despite the masses of research on fifteenth-century printing that have been carried from the age of Panzer and Hain down to the present, no incunable catalogue has attempted to provide a full and consistent record of the textual contents of the books it describes.The Author-Text index attempts to identify both authors and texts - two quite different categories - in as concise and unambiguous a way as possible, citing for each whatever reference works seem to provide the most precise, most useful, and least ephemeral information." Very Good.
