Auction ended

Baroque Scholarly Library, 17th/18th Century 3.80 linear meters Baroque Scholarly Library in 64 volumes from the 17th and 18th centuries. A well-curated collection featuring titles in the classical fields of theology, classical philology, history, geography, and others. Notable examples include: Schilter. *Antiquitates Teutonica* I–III (complete set). 1727–1728; Ferrari. *Bibliotheca canonica* I–VIII (complete set). Rome, 1767; Cocceus. *Lexicon…sermonis hebraica*. 1714; Buxtorf. *Lexicon hebraicum*. 1698. All are in period bindings such as full vellum, half-vellum, full leather, with only very few in half-leather. 33 volumes are in folio format, 16 in octavo format, and the rest in small octavo through duodecimo. Most are somewhat stained, bumped, and browned; in a few cases, the headbands and covers have minor losses; predominantly old and more recent ownership marks (including, frequently, those of the previous owner, a well-known classical philologist). Due to the nature of the paper, the pages are mostly browned, some are slightly stained, but overall the books are very well preserved. / Shipping available upon request. There is no title list; we ask that you inspect the books in person beforehand. Call time: Oct. 28, 2026 | estimated 2:16 p.m. (CET) Baroque Scholars’ Library, 17th/18th Century 3.80 linear meters.
