The Library

New pictures from my Library.
As I told you, the look of the shelves is changing every time a new edition appears. And I believe this is the time I should show it again, because the other post is berried in the depth pf the blog.

In the first picture – La Grad Dictionnaire Universel by Larousse and on the lower shelve is Voltaire, that I have posted on this blog in the 18th Century label.
In the second picture – Gustave Dore shelve . You can see them all in the Gustave Dore label, except for the Don Quichote, that I haven’t yet shown.

These are the “expensive shelves” :) as I like to call them.
Everything in the first picture you can see on the blog – and the most important is Hieronymus (1476), and you can find it in the Incunabula lebel.
The second picture is the Zurich Bible and two other books that I’m going to post later on – 1643 the huge single book and 1679 – the two volumes.

Please leave your impressions and feel free to comment on the other posts too, give me additional data, especially on the incunabulas I have here.
Enjoy! :)

The Library

These are photos taken in my library.
The books are shifted every time something new that requires a lot of space appears, so probably I'll have to update this post periodically.

Overall, there are over 6500 bibliophilic books, among which 6 incunabula.

The library contains all the major encyclopedias, natural histories, historical, political and literary registers, bibles and important religious works, science and historical writings, a lot of important writers like Shakespeare, Voltaire, Balzac, Goethe, Jules Verne, J.J. Rousseau, Scott Walter, Schiller, Moliere, Victor Hugo, Homer, and others.

The lower shelves aren’t visible, but I can assure you they are filled like the top ones.

As you can probably notice, many books are behind the visible ones – there are two, even three rows of books on almost every shelf, except the folio volumes that needed an entire shelf. If I were to place all of them on a single row, i would need a room at least twice as big.
