About This Item
Norimbergae [Nuremberg]: Michaelis Endteri 1662, 1662. Quarto, 190x152mm. pp. [26], 832, 68. Red morocco, gilt with the arms of Jean-Baptiste Colbert at the centre of the upper and lower covers, spine with five raised bands, compartments with crowned monogram "JBC". Colbert was Louis XIV's Minister of Finance and the creator of one the finest private libraries of the seventeenth century, containing about 23,000 books and over 5,000 manuscripts. Title page has inscription "Bibliotheca Colbertina". Front pastdown has armorial book-label of Harriman, Lecomte du Nouy. This is Mary Harriman, the widow of the scientist Pierre Lecomte du Nouy. Edges sprinkled red. Some rubbing to joints and to the foot of the spine, corners and edge of lower board bumped but otherwise a nice copy. Internally excellent with some browning and foxing and a worm track to leaf N2. George Richter (1592-1651) was a lawyer from Nuremberg and later the Vice-Chancellor of Altdorf University. He corresponded with many of the leading intellectuals of the time and his letters provide a fascinating and detailed insight into the cultural life of seventeenth century Germany, an insight that Colbert would have found invaluable.

About Voewood Rare Books
Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
