BOOKS PRINTED ON VELLUM. [PRAET (Joseph Basile Bernard van)]. Catalogue des Livres Imprimés sur Vélin de la Bibliothéque du Roi.1822

Burt Franklin, New York. 9 Vols., small 4to, orig. cloth. "The first bibliography of books printed on vellum; it describes 1,750 books owned by what is now the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris, and 2,750 works which the author traced in other public and private libraries. But it is much more than a mere bibliography of books printed on that precious material; the copious notes make it a valuable bibliography of rare books in many fields." - Breslauer & Folter, Grolier Club, Bibliography, 123.
