Description
[Bibliophilia]. CHEREAU (Achille, ed.). Catalogue of a 15th-century bookseller with a shop in Tours. Paris, Académie des bibliophiles, 1868. In-12, 66 pp., [3] folios. Contemporary signed binding, chocolate-coloured half-maroquin with corner pieces, ribbed spine with title, cover preserved (difficult to read, possibly Torbier). A print run of 300 numbered copies on Holland paper. This catalogue contains 266 entries for manuscripts or incunabula written in French. A few old corrections in pink pencil. Binding rubbed at the joints and spine, and on both upper corners. Also included: LACOUR (Louis). Yearbook for the Bibliophile, Librarian and Archivist. A historical, anecdotal and critical yearbook. Paris, E. Meugnot, 1860. In-12, 125 pp. on Holland paper. Contemporary binding in buff half-calf, ribbed spine decorated with gilt fillets. The volume provides a wealth of information on the public and private libraries of Paris, the Archives, and the École des Chartes. It also features miscellaneous items, anecdotes and quotations, and lists the leading French booksellers and bookbinders. Louis Lacour de La Pijardière (1832–1891) was then librarian at Sainte-Geneviève. But he was also a historian and archivist. The edges and corners are slightly scuffed, and the lower cap is damaged. Experts: Loup Axmann and Jean-Luc Boisseau
