Breslauer & Folter 147 ("Owing to the extremely detailed bibliographical descriptions and critical notes by Davies, . . . the catalogues of the Fairfax Murray Collection of French and German fifteenth- and sixteenth-century books may be considered selective bibliographies of their subject and belong indeed to the best reference works on it."). Ricci, p. 178-79 ("His collections of early German, French, and espcially Italian books were among the largest and choicest in private hands."). First privately printed in very limited editions, in 1910 (French) and 1913 (German). With detailed bibliographical descriptions of 707 French books printed between 1475 to 1692 and of 495 German books (including books published in countries with a non-Latin European base, principally Belgium, Switzerland, and Austria-Hungary). Charles Fairfax Murray (1849-1919) was a British artist and art connoisseur connected with the second wave of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. "His own collections included Italian and English art, especially Pre-Raphaelite art, rare and illuminated books, incunabula of different origins, and a complete series of the Kelmscott editions, forming one of the finest European book collections." (ODNB) N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, with dust jackets carefully preserved in archival, removable mylar sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.
