About This Item
Leiden, Petrus van der Aa; Luchtmans & Haak, 1716 - 1741. (x), 500pp; (60 unnumbered ff); titlepage of supplement; pages 501-534. 2 parts in one. Folio. Title in red and black with engraved vignette.With finely engraved frontispiece representing the library interior and heads of celebrated Dutch scholars, full page plate of benefactors and plate of the Copernican Globe preserved in the library. Preface and index. Full contemporary mottled sheep (rubbed, corners lightly bumped, head & foot of spine chipped, lower back joint cracked). Red morocco title shield. The present catalogue was first published in 1716. When the supplement was completed in 1741 a newer and fuller titlepage was substituted in the copies then unsold, but still dated 1716. The supplement has a separate titlepage: Supplementum Catalogus librorum tam impressum quam manuscriptum Bibliothecae publicae Universitatis Lugduno-Batavae. Leiden (Samuel Lugtmans & Cornelius Haak), 1741, but the pagination is continuous (the supplement occupies pages 501-534). Incidentally there is a substantial unpaginated index placed between them of 60ff. The Catalogue of the University Library at Leyden has a certain air of modernity in its carefully listed holdings in theology, jurisprudence, medicine, philosophy, philology, political economy, history, belles-lettres, classics, numismatics, etc. A single chapter enumerates the celebrated collection of 1993 Oriental manuscripts in Persian, Turkish, Hebrew, Armenian, Coptic, etc. Separate chapters list the special collections donated by Huygens, Vossius, Perizonius, De Smet, and others. Rare [Brunet 31496 says that this is one of the most representative sources of Oriental manuscript holdings].
