About This Item
n.d. [17th Cent.]. Exotic. Very Good +. 8 1/4 x 10 3/4 inches. 32 unnumbered leaves, 3 partly excised. Manuscript of the Carthusian Kalendar for January 1 through May 10 in Latin, possibly near Segovia, Spain, in more than one neat contemporary hand. Bound in full modern sealskin with fur by John Field (with binder's ticket). Provenance: Library of Harry and Virginia Walton. Harry and Virginia Walton were lifelong residents of Covington, Virginia, a small town in the Allegheny Mountains. Harry was a graduate of Lynchburg College, and Virginia was a graduate of the Lynchburg General School of Nursing. Although largely unknown to the general public, the Waltons' reputation as collectors was widely respected in bibliophile and academic circles, and items from their collection were exhibited at numerous colleges, universities and art centers. After their deaths, the original Walton collection was the subject of a series of very successful auctions in New York and London. John Field was an expert leather bookbinder associated with W.J. Barrow Restoration Shop (Richmond, VA).
