SPARFVENFELDT (Johann Gabriel) - BENZELIUS (Erik, the Younger) & CELSIUS (Olof, the Younger) Compilers.
Catalogus Centuriae Librorum Rarissimorum Manuscript. & partim Impressorum, Arabicorum, Persicorum, Turcicorum, Graecorum, Latinorum, &c...
4to (193 x 150 mm), [6], 74pp., woodcut head-piece and decorative initial, some text in Arabic type, disbound. This is the earliest catalogue of the Uppsala University Library collections, perhaps the greatest in Sweden. A full catalogue of the collections was not published until 1814. Under the leadership of Erik Benzelius (1675-1743), the Library of the University of Upsala grew, benefiting from many important gifts. These included the 100 books and manuscripts described here which were collected and donated by Sparfvenfeldt. He was a diplomat and amateur linguist who collected many precious books and manuscripts on his travels in Russia, Europe, and northern Africa. Here he carefully describes the 41 Arabic, 8 Greek, and 7 Latin MSS including an eighth-century Greek text and an Italian Bible of 1474. The 41 printed books included five Chinese block-printed volumes, and also a famous world map (1674) by Ferdinand Verbiest.

NEWCASTLE (Seventh Duke of)
The Clumber Library. Catalogue of the Magnificent Library, the Property of the Late Seventh Duke of Newcastle Removed from Clumber, Worksop, and Sold by Order of the Rt. Hon. the Earl of Lincoln. The First [-Fourth] Portion. Which will be Sold by Auction by Messrs Sotheby & Co... on Monday, the 21st June, 1937 [-1938].
4 Vols., 4to, 11 coloured plates, 97 monochrome (some folding), printed wrappers, upper cover of the first part detached, 1412 lots. The preface notes that "The books and manuscripts from Clumber, the most important to appear at auction in this country since the Holford sales nearly ten years ago, are probably less well known to collectors than any library of similar consequence." The fourth Duke of Newcastle (1785-1851) apparently was principally responsible for the formation of the library, which included a First Folio. Lot 1 was the prize of the sale: the Hours of Isabel of Brittany, otherwise known as the Lamoignon Hours. The collection's three Caxtons (lot 10-12) included a fine copy of 'Reynard the Fox'. Symour de Ricci provided a handlist of the manuscripts in the collection, which was used by Sotheby's in their preparation of the catalogue. From the library of Pierre Ber?s.

The first Earl of Oxford "was one of the first collectors who systematically acquired early printed books; his son Edward... continued the library. After the latter's death in 1741, his widow sold the library for 13,000 pounds to the London bookseller Thomas Osborne (d. 1767), who employed Dr. Johnson and William Oldys, antiquary and later Norroy King-of-Arms, to catalogue it." (Breslauer & Folter). The catalogue was planned by Michael Maittaire who also wrote the Latin dedication to Lord Carteret. Dr. Johnson shared the cataloguing of the collection with Oldys. Although this was a bookseller's catalogue, the prices were not published, but Osborne marked a minimum price it each, which were then sold to the highest bidder. The bulk of the manuscripts were sold to the nation for ?10,000. This is catalogue of the library of Robert and Edward Harley, Earls of Oxford, is complete. A fifth volume published by Osborne in 1745 is nothing more than a catalogue of Osborne's old stock. Provenance: With the gilt crest stamp of William Stuart (1798 - 1874) on upper and lower boards.
