We
have for sale a collection of approximately 3,000 catalogues issued by
antiquarian booksellers, auction houses, art galleries and museums, and dealers
in antiquities, focused predominantly on the marketing of early printed books
and Medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, including illuminated pages.
The
catalogues were assembled by Bruce Ferrini from the 1970s until the close of
his business ca. 2004 and were an important part of Ferrini’s larger reference
