The complete five volumes of the magnificent library of Baron Gerard Meerman (1722 - 1771) and his son Jan (1753 - 1818), both of whom did extensive research in the history of printing. Sir Thomas Phillipps bought much material from this sale, particularly from the manuscript portion. Many of the manuscripts came from the Collège the Clermont, once the property of the Jesuits in Paris. These sale catalogues describe about 10,000 books and 1100 manuscripts and the sale realized more than 131,000 guilders (of which almost 32,000 for the manuscripts alone). A fine set of the auction catalogue of one of the most famous European libraries of the time. De Ricci, p. 120. Gustave Brunet, Dictionnaire de Bibliologie Catholique, col. 596-"Belle collection, riche en livres rares et en ouvrages des premiers temps de l'imprimerie. Les trois premiers volumes contiennent les imprimés, le 4e les manuscrits, le 5e donne les prix. Les anglais firent de forts achats à cette vente.".
