Rare books, old manuscripts, letters and period documents.
Rare books, old manuscripts, historical documents and old papers bearing witness to bygone eras, significant events or notable figures. The selection includes printed works from the 16th to the 20th century, first editions and illustrated books, sometimes with dedications, ex-libris or period bindings.
Illuminated manuscripts, autographed correspondence, old newspapers, posters, official acts and private archives sit alongside documents signed by writers, scholars, politicians and artists. Some of the items are linked to historical events or to intellectual, literary or religious movements.
Each item tells the story of a fragment of history: a written record, a testimonial, an intellectual work or an object of remembrance, it reflects a specific moment in the transmission of knowledge, ideas or facts. A living treasure trove for fans of ancient writing, authentic paper and documentary heritage.
