This month we review four new dealer catalogues. Dr. Jörn Günther presents one of the most impressive catalogues I have ever seen, though you will need to be strong to lift it. The subject is Renaissance Italian manuscripts and miniatures. Leo Cadogan Rare Books offers 10 very special “treasures.” These treasures have been many centuries in the aging. Whitmore Rare Books offers a selection of great literature. Zephyr Used & Rare Books has a “bonanza” of the unexpected.
