Sobre este artículo
Mechelen, J.F. vander Elst, 1767. 8vo. Two volumes. (6)-xviii-315-(1 ff.); (2)-317-658, (66) pp. Early 20th century half cloth, red speckled boards. Red leather spine label with gilt titling.
Uncommon and scarce catalogue of the important library of Carolus Major (16.. - 1766). Major, a well-known book collector, was a canon in Mechelen and known as "the Van Hulthem of his time". The sale of his collection was one of the major sales in the Low Countries of the period. Archer Taylor mentions the catalogue: "Catalogues are of course very good reflections of tastes and interests in book-collecting. One example that concerns books considered as physical objects without regard to their contents will be sufficient. The Bibliotheca ex omni facultate librorum quos reliquit reverendus dominus Carolus Major (Mechlin, 1767: at [the Lindesiana copy]) contains (pp. 655-658) a "Musaeolum peregrinantium, seu bibliotheca ambulatoria in formis minimis," listing 58 titles. This is, in other words, a collection of tiny books that reflects the interest aroused by the contemporary work of Cazin in this sort of printing. The rather little-known Major catalogue deserves praise as a very well-made classified collection with a good bibliographical section. Major owned more than a hundred and fifty catalogues of public and private libraries." At the end there is an extensive (66 pp) author index. [c.f. Blogie I:11-12; Vandenhole 221; Taylor, Book Catalogues, p. 160].
