摘要

摘要:19世纪末和20世纪初,北美中世纪手稿贸易显著增长,包括亨廷顿、摩根和沃尔特斯收藏在内的知名图书馆也相继建立。在藏书史上,那些以自己的名字命名这些机构的人显得举足轻重,但如果没有为他们提供服务的书商网络,他们的图书馆是不可能存在的。后者包括美国人乔治·d·史密斯和英国人伯纳德·阿尔弗雷德·夸里奇。这两个人都受到了学者们的一些关注,尽管人们对他们的了解大多是基于那些参与贸易的人提供的资料。这篇文章比较了这两个人的生活,以检查他们的行为,动机和这些对美国中世纪手稿运动和收藏发展的影响。

George D. Smith (1870–1920), Bernard Alfred Quaritch (1871–1913), and the Trade in Medieval European Manuscripts in the United States ca. 1890–1920
Abstract:The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries saw significant growth in the trade in medieval manuscripts in North America and the creation of well-known libraries including the Huntington, Morgan and Walters collections. The men who gave their names to those institutions loom large in the history of collecting, but their libraries would not have been possible without the networks of booksellers who supplied them. The latter included the American George D. Smith and the Briton Bernard Alfred Quaritch. Both men have received some attention from scholars, although much of what is known about them has been based on sources created by those involved in the trade. This essay compares the lives of these two men to examine their actions, motivations and the consequences of these for the movement of medieval manuscripts and the development of collections in the USA.
