The Invention of Rare Books: Private Interest and Public Memory, 1600–1840
McKitterick, David (University of Cambridge)
Explores how the idea of rare books was shaped by collectors, traders and libraries from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. Using examples from across Europe, David McKitterick looks at how rare books developed from being desirable objects of largely private interest to become public and even national concerns.
