Description:
Leiden: [A. Elzevier for] J. de Vivie, 1682. Contemporary blind-ruled vellum over stiff paper boards (lightly soiled), later gilt-lettered red (title) and green (date) spine labels, edges sprinkled red. "ONE OF THE MOST FREQUENTLY CONSULTED CATALOGUES OF ITS KIND" (Breslauer & Folter). With some 20,000 volumes it was "the most extensive private collection in Europe assembled for the study of classical antiquity...almost a universal short-title catalogue" (Sibbald). The lots are divided into twelve subjects areas, then internally arranged by size. Polymath and book scout for the Queen of Sweden, Heinsius (1620-81) built a fine personal library of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, incunables, books on vellum and classical texts annotated in manuscript by, i.a., his father, Gronovius, Junius and J.J.

Description:
[Venice: G. Leoncini with] Andrea Kunadis' Greek types, 1584. CONTEMPORARY ALLA GRECA BINDING OF BLIND-DECORATED CALF OVER WOODEN BOARDS, outer rule frames, central rectangle of a foliage roll, Christogram in the center (slight loss to both panels), the same roll repeated on the flat spine, a pair of metal catchpins and catches, book block edges flush cut. Apparently the ?second printing of the Eastern Orthodox hymnal: "one of the two most important poetic forms in medieval Byzantine religious poetry...chanters would use them [hirmologia] to learn the basic melodies" in the liturgy (New Grove2). Created in the 9th century to be sung by the whole congregation, the Hirmologion provides the first stanza (hirmos) of each of the roughly one thousand odes that make up the kanones. The congregants sing the remaining verses and their melodies from memory. In the early 1520s Kunadis issued a series of Greek service books. With those same types and blocks, Giacomo Leoncini produced liturgical books in…

Description:
The Hague: J. Swart and P. de Hondt, 1730. Mid-18th-century sheep-backed marbled boards (worn, front hinge of Vol. I repaired), flat spines gilt with rules, crosses and gilt-lettered labels (rubbed). A wonderful collection of books" (Dibdin). The forty thousand titles are offered by format, subject matter and language - as they were shelved? They include illuminated manuscripts, incunables on vellum, English books (3000 lots), Spanish books (1200 lots) and library catalogs (c. 400 lots). Huls had many of his books elegantly bound in morocco by the most fashionable local binders. A good set (browned, more so in some quires), bookplates of Dr. E.S. Flamm. ¶Foot, "An Eighteenth-Century Dutch Patron of Bookbinding" in Quaerendo 41 (2011) 193-207; Dibdin, Bibliomania 82; Taylor, Book Catalogues ed. Barlow 246.
