Edition originale
FIRST. nFINE/G+. Blue cloth boards. This modest little book is only of passing importance in and of itself. It's provenance however is quite another matter. A visitcard inside identifies it as coming from the personal library of Dr. Elmer Belt, a Professor Emeritus in the UCLA School of Medicine and a collector of Vinciana (Leonardo Da Vinci). The Elmer Belt Library at UCLA houses his personally acquired editions of original Da Vinci manuscripts and books including "Treatise on Painting". Dr Belt was a supporter of International Peace, as this book testifies. If you want to own a special piece of related history, then this is the item. UNIQUE. [B78].

May 17, 1980) Was An Internationally Recognized Urologist, A Pioneer In Sex-Change Surgery, An Important Mover In The Founding Of The Ucla School Of Medicine, And A Book Collector Known For Assembling A Library Of Research Materials About Leonardo Da Vinci?The Elmer Belt Library Of Vinciana. Between 1961 And 1966, Belt Donated In Installments His Leonardo Da Vinci Collection To Ucla On The Condition That The University Maintain His Collection And Not Integrate It With The Rest Of The Library's Holdings. In 2002, Counter To The Terms Of The Gift, The Elmer Belt Library Of Vinciana Was Integrated Into Ucla Library Special Collections. Belt Also Collected Works By Upton Sinclair And, In 1934, Supported Sinclair's Campaign For Governor Of California.
