Abstract

Die Geschichte der Herzog August Bibliothek von ihren Anfängen im 16. Jahrhundert bis zum Ausgang des 19. Jahrhunderts ist in den Grundzügen erforscht und dargestellt worden. Bieten die ersten drei Jahrhunderte der Bibliotheksgeschichte dem Bibliothekshistoriker auch noch ein weites Feld für Detailforschung, so sind doch die wichtigsten Daten und Zusammenhänge bekannt.Ein völlig anderes Bild bietet sich dem Bibliothekshistoriker, der die Geschichte der Bibliothek in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts in Augenschein nimmt. Schon über die Zeit, während der Gustav Milchsack die Bibliothek lei

Abstract

The library of the physician Anthony Askew (1722-72) was outstanding in both printed books and manuscripts. He may have failed in his ambition to secure a complete collection of every printed edition of the Greek classics, but he did amass a classical library which remained unsurpassed until Spencer. Although he was later accused of plagiarism, virtually every edition of Aeschylus down to the 1850s cited 'Askew's collations'. He also secured Richard Mead's fine collection of Latin and Greek manuscripts, alongside other early classical codices from the Maffei library. The dispersal of Askew's collection in two sales, ten years apart, attracted international interest. Bidders at the 1775 book sale included George III, while the manuscript sale in 1785 led to acquisitions by the British Museum, the Bodleian and Cambridge University Library. Now reissued together, the sale catalogues have been annotated here by auction attendees who recorded prices and some purchaser details.

Abstract

This Element examines the trade in rare books and manuscripts between Britain and America during a period known as the 'Golden Age' of collecting. Through analysis of contemporary press reports, personal correspondence, trade publications and sales records, this study contrasts American and British perspectives as rare books passed through the commercial market. The aim is to compare the rhetoric and reality of the book trade in order to assess its impact on emerging cultural institutions, contemporary scholarship and shifting notions of national identity. By analysing how markets emerged, dealers functioned and buyers navigated the market, this Element interrogates accepted narratives about the ways in which major rare book and manuscript collections were formed and how they were valued by contemporaries.
