Much has already been written about these collections, but De Wilde’s book collection has been largely neglected. This article focuses on his library.
期刊介绍:
Quærendo is a leading peer-reviewed journal in the world of manuscripts and books. It contains a selection of scholarly articles connected with the Low Countries. Particular emphasis is given to codicology and palaeography, printing from around 1500 until present times, humanism, book publishers and libraries, typography, bibliophily and book binding. Since 1971 Quærendo has been establishing itself as a forum for contributions from the Low Countries concerning the history of books. Its appearance in the great libraries of the world as well as on the book shelves of individual professors and scholars, shows it to be an invaluable reference work for their research.
