About This Item

Porto, Imprensa Portuguesa, 1874.. Large 4° (28.5 x 22.3 cm.), late twentieth-century crimson half sheep over decorated boards, spine gilt with raised bands in five compartments, short title gilt in second compartment from head, gilt rules between leather and boards on covers, marbled endleaves, top edges rouged, other edges uncut, red silk ribbon place marker. Woodcut arms of Portugal on title-page, woodcut initials. Luxuriously printed on laid paper with wide margins. In fine condition. (10 ll.), 525 pp., (1 l.). *** Typographical reprint of the earliest Portuguese private library catalogue. The original, published in Lisbon, 1649, is so rare that Folter & Breslauer were unable to find a copy for the Grolier Club's exhibition on bibliography. They write, "The catalogue of the vast musical library formed by King João, who was himself a composer and writer on music, remained the only independent work of musical bibliography until well into the eighteenth century. Some 4,000 titles are listed. The entire collection fell victim to the Lisbon earthquake of 1755." *** Folter & Breslauer 56. See Vasconcellos, Músicos portugueses I, 130-1.
