About this Item
Description:
First edition of this catalogue of titles available from the shop of the important Dutch bookseller Daniel Elzevir with provenance that links it from Samuel Johnson's inner circle to the Johnsonians of the 20th century. This copy was owned by Alexander Boswell, the son of James Boswell, and eventually made its way to the library of the influential Samuel Johnson collector R. B. Adam. This catalogue, with nearly 20,000 titles, has been an important resource for book historians because of its inclusion of the locations of various publishers that generally did not state this information in their books it would have been an important bibliographic reference for a book collector like Alexander Boswell. Alexander was the son of Samuel Johnson's friend and biographer James Boswell, and, for a time, he maintained and expanded his father's extensive Auchinleck Library. However, Alexander's death in a duel in 1822, followed closely by the death of his brother, James Boswell Jr., led to the majority of the collection being auctioned by Sotheby in 1825. This book was not included in that sale, nor does it appear in the 1893 Auchinleck Library auction which further dispersed the collection; Boswell scholar Terry Seymour speculates it did not leave the collection until the final sale of the Library in Edinburgh in 1917, part of a vast "Miscellaneous" category ("of great annoyance," (67) he notes). By 1921, it was in the possession of English lawyer, judge, and Johnsonian F. D. MacKinnon. MacKinnon gifted it that year to fellow Johnsonian R. B. Adam, whose book collecting story is similar to that of Alexander Boswell: Adam's uncle, also R. B., established a major collection of works associated with Johnson that the younger R. B. expanded upon. Adam presented this little volume to an acquaintance in 1936, with the result that it was not among the books sold to Donald and Mary Hyde in 1948. A terrific copy in a contemporary parchment binding, with provenance illuminating networks of collectors over three centuries. 12mo, 5.25'' x 3''. Contemporary stiff parchment laced-case binding over marbled boards, with black manuscript spine lettering. Woodcut printer's ornament to title page with various woodcut initials, head-, and tailpieces throughout. 176, 86, [2], 60, 200, [4], 120, 24, 104 pages; rear flyleaf lacking. Bookplate of R. B. Adam with portrait of Samuel Johnson to front pastedown, with early ownership marks above an below, including intertwined capital DD. Ownership inscription of Alexander Boswell to front flyleaf, dated 1816 in Edinburgh. Ownership inscription of R. B. Adam to front flyleaf, "from F. D. MacKinnon / At lunch at / Simpson's in / the Strand / 8 June 1921." Ownership inscription of Donald Gilchrist below, "from R. B. Adam / Nov. 1. 1936 / commemorate the Day." Binding mildly toned with a bit of edgewear and a couple tiny spots of soil; some bowing. Turn-ins of boards lifting a touch, revealing marbling below. Leaves with scattered tiny spots of soil. Tight. Seller Inventory # 47002

Seven parts bound in one vol. 12mo, early 19th-cent. diced calf, signed on spine "Rel. P Bozerian Jeune," flat spine richly gilt, gilt fillets round sides, a.e.g. Amsterdam: D. Elzevier, 1674. A fine copy of by far the most important bookseller's catalogue of the 17th century, listing on 736 pages upwards of 20,000 titles. "It is divided into seven parts: theology, law, medicine, books on 'miscellaneous' subjects, books in French, in Italian, Spanish and English, and in German. No prices were given but these were presumably quoted on request. Included are, of course, the books published by the Elzeviers still in print, and a vast number of other books printed in Holland, and the catalogue is therefore still of bibliographical value. It also served contemporary scholars as a work of reference and may be considered a select universal bibliography."Grolier Club, Bibliography, 68. Fine copy, in a Bozerian binding with a vellum endleaf at beginning. Bookplates of Anselm van den Bogaerde (1776-1866; his sale, Bruges, 18 March 1867, lot 8644), Belgian aristocrat who formed one of the finest book and art collections of the time, and Jules Capron of Ypres (1829-97; his sale, Brussels, 6-8 April 1875, lot 876), a founding member of the Société des Bibliophiles of Belgium. ?
