Description

FIRST AND ONLY EDITION OF THIS CATALOGUE OF EXTREMELY RARE AND VALUABLE BOOKS, GENERALLY CONSIDERED TO BE A MAJOR SOURCE FOR THE FORTSAS HOAX (which was printed three years later by another member of the Hoyois family of printers in Mons.) XXIV, 192 pp. 442 books and 81 manuscripts described in great detail. Likely the first compilation of extraordinarily valuable books, compiled from contemporary auction records and other sources. 8vo. Beautifully bound in full vellum c. 1900 for noted Barcelona publisher Miquel Rius, with his gilt super libros on both covers, spine in six compartments, morocco lettering-piece. Elaborately-printed original wraps preserved. All eldges gilt. Paper somewhat foxed and discolored, as with all copies. Otherwise FINE AND BRIGHT. Very rare.
