"The bookbinder remains anonymous, but similar bindings were produced in Gregorio Andrekoli Rospigliosi’s workshop in Rome around 1650–1670. It was the Vatican’s official bookbindery, serving popes and cardinals."
Crafoord Auctions Lund has once again unlocked its library, and if you have just a moment to spare, you might find yourself captivated by almost anything.
Take for example this 17th-century volume, comprising over 1,000 pages of handwritten theology and philosophy. It’s one of the highlights from the May Book Auction, which includes more than 170 lots in total. Among them you'll find pomology, horticulture, gastronomy, a veterinary medicine handbook, natural sciences, richly illustrated books on art, botanical prints, and all manner of curiosities that might grace a well-stocked bookshelf.
