A propos de cet article

This is "Collections of Incunabula and their Value for Scholars, with Special Reference to the Vollbehr Collection", by Dr. Ernst Schulz , and Translated by Dr. Powell Spring. The book has an informative Foreword by Dr. Pierce Butler (Librarian of the Newbury Library at Chicago). The book has eight facsimile reproductions of 15th century wood engravings. Dr. Butler's foreword starts thusly: "To visit This collection is, for a person of historical imagination, an almost overwhelming experience. these volumes, so fresh and yet so old, reach back into history four and a half centuries and more. If one is fortunate and be entrusted to take into his own hands one of these relics, let him hold it reverently as a precious heirloom of his own ancestral past. Fifteen generations of men have lived and died since these pages were printed. Fifteen generations have wrought and thought while this volume was handed down from fathers to their sons. Against this lapse of years the span of an individual lifetime would dwindle to pathetic littleness, did not this book reveal a pattern in the whole. Four hundred and fifty years of intellectual effort and achievement are crystallized into this book. But of all, the old books, perhaps, are what we most hoard and cherish for they bring us closest to the spirit of the past. " TITLE : Collections of Incunabula and Their Value for Scholars with Special Reference to the Vollbehr Collection (The Vollbehr Collection was assembled through the years by Otto Heinrich Friederich Vollbehr, 1869 - 1946.
