About This Item
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.
