Coming soon: a remarkable single-owner collection of illuminated incunabula, each in an original or near-original binding and distinguished by the exceptional quality of its decoration. Highlights include an illuminated Koberger Bible, a 1494 edition of Appianus, and what is believed to be the finest known copy of Aldus Manutius’s 1498 edition of Poliziano, with initials rubricated in gold. Further discoveries from the collection will be revealed shortly.
