Education & Learning

 

These books about books, the remains of vast libraries past, contain bibliographies and catalogues of collections compiled by bibliophiles, historians, doctors, courtiers, soldiers, and even snuff merchants.

Also find here an array of poems and orations, sermons, textbooks, emblem books, dictionaries and grammars, epitomes, and letters. Teachings cover themes from morality to courtly interactions, the alphabet, and the law.

Our large number of commentaries scrutinise the writings of figures such as Homer, Aristotle, Euclid, Pythagoras, Justinian, Sallust, Cato, and Petrarch.
