INTRODUCTION 
 
 \ 
 
 [HE Club has lately held an exhibition of book- 
 plates, or, as better known in the language 
 of the learned, of " ex-libris." These, de- 
 signed, engraved, and printed, more or less artistically, 
 and pasted upon the inside of book-covers, serve as 
 marks of ownership ; also as advertisements for the 
 return of strayed or stolen volumes. The book-plate, 
 however, is no guarantee as to the past or present 
 ownership of the book in which it is found, for the 
 person who might hesitate to remove a fine old title- 
 page or frontispiece may not scruple to transfer a book- 
 plate, especially if it be that of a noted personage, and 
 thus endow a favored tome with a more illustrious 
 pedigree. Doubtless no real bibliophile would yield 
 to such temptation. 
 
 One may imagine that this state of affairs was antici- 
 pated by some old lovers of their books when they 
 inscribed their names upon the title-pages to identify 
 themselves with their volumes. If kings and princes, 
 Montaigne, Melancthon, and Grolier himself, did such 
 things, as they all occasionally did, we are prone, if the 
 signature be authentic, to condone the offense, and to 
 
 vii

 cherish the writing with some feeling of veneration. As 
 a rule, however, inscriptions of this character are but an 
 unprofitable vandalism. 
 
 It is evident that every collector or owner of a library 
 cannot well have all of his books bound or rebound, 
 with his arms, name, or device stamped upon them; 
 much less is he justified in making such additions to 
 the bindings of fine old books, although there are in- 
 stances of this species of vandalism. 
 
 The custom of identifying in some manner books 
 with their owners is as old as books themselves. In the 
 early manuscripts personal insignia, or coats of arms, are 
 frequently found emblazoned or interwoven in the dec- 
 oration of the pages. They were also inserted in the 
 painted borders of early printed books, and one would 
 perhaps prefer incunabula with such proprietary records. 
 
 With the introduction, early in the sixteenth century, 
 of bookbindings in morocco and calf-skin, susceptible of 
 delicate and elaborate ornamentation, came the custom, 
 with the more wealthy bibliophile, of causing his name, 
 monogram, or arms to be stamped upon the sides as part 
 of the decoration. With the revival of art and letters came 
 also that of individuality, but we have to regret that the 
 artists so often forgot to record themselves; more mindful 
 of their work and the glorification of their patrons than of 
 their own merit. It is not an idle curiosity which seeks to 
 know something of the men who bound and decorated 
 the fine old books of the sixteenth century, and worked 
 upon them the names of Maioli and Grolier, or the arms 
 
INTRODUCTION ix 
 
 and mottoes of Frangois I, Henri II, or Diane de Poi- 
 tiers. It is a strange fate which links illustrious names 
 with those of the modest bookbinders Clovis Eve, Le 
 Gascon, Boyer, and their successors, making them, even 
 after a lapse of three hundred years, as household words 
 to every lover of books. 
 
 The exhibition described in this catalogue is a tribute 
 to the memory of the enlightened bibliophile and his 
 bookbinder; a page from history and art. A French- 
 man would call it an assemblage of "livres de proven- 
 ance," a term for which there is no exact phrase in Eng- 
 lish. After the author who creates the books comes the 
 reader, the appreciative owner and legitimate guardian 
 of them, and as such we remember Maioli, Grolier, Cor- 
 vinus, Count d'Hoym, De Thou, the Medicis and Cardi- 
 nal Amboise, as we do the royal patrons of literature 
 and art, many of whom are represented in this exhibition. 
 
 A person to whom a book is no better than a news- 
 paper should experience a slight glow of curiosity, if not 
 of interest, at seeing the volume of verses by the favorite 
 poet of Henri IV of France the identical copy owned 
 by the king, with his arms and the H's on its vellum sides. 
 As we look upon it we think of the massacre of St. Bar- 
 tholomew, when he was saved by Catharine de Me- 
 dicis ; of the battle of Ivry ; of his jovial moments and 
 of Ravaillac; also of Marguerite de Valois and her 
 books with their marguerites and motto, " Expectata 
 non Eludet." The volumes belonging to Catharine her- 
 self, and to Marie de Medicis, complete the tableau. 
 
x INTRODUCTION 
 
 There is also exhibited the book of the great surgeon, 
 Ambroise Pare, upon his new method of healing wounds, 
 instead of burning them with boiling oil and hot irons 
 the identical copy he had printed on vellum and presented 
 to Henri II. Of books belonging to this king and to 
 Diane de Poitiers there are several, with the royal arms 
 and the monograms H D and the crescents. 
 
 Geometry was a favorite study of Francois I, and 
 the " Livre Singulier et utile touchant Tart et practique 
 de geometric, " by Charles Bouvelle, printed at Paris 
 in 1542, is the king's copy, a beautiful specimen of 
 binding, with his arms on the sides, and the crowned 
 F's, the salamanders, and tongues of flame. 
 
 Incomplete as it is, the list is still a long one: Riche- 
 lieu, Anne of Austria, Mazarin, Bossuet, the Henris and 
 the Louis of France, Mile, de Montpensier, Mmes. de 
 Maintenon, La Valliere, Pompadour, Du Barry; books 
 of Marie Leczinska, queen of France, and her father 
 Stanislaus, king of Poland, who established his exiled 
 court at Nancy, and made it a miniature Paris ; of the 
 daughters of Louis XV; of Marie Antoinette; together 
 with many volumes in the rich old French moroccos 
 of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, stamped 
 with the arms of prelates, nobles, and noted persons. 
 
 If comparatively few books bearing marks of Eng- 
 lish ownership are found in this catalogue, it is prin- 
 cipally owing to the fact that Englishmen of the "olden 
 time " were not addicted to bibliophilism in the modern 
 acceptance of the term ; otherwise they would have 
 
INTRODUCTION xi 
 
 exacted from the printer greater care in the execution 
 of his work, and preserved, in some measure, the tradi- 
 tions of Caxton, Wynkyn de Worde and Pynson, few if 
 any of whose books, however, have come down to us 
 bearing upon their covers the insignia of royal or dis- 
 tinguished owners. 
 
 The best English bindings of the sixteenth and sev- 
 enteenth centuries are evidently by foreign craftsmen, 
 probably Huguenot workmen who fled from religious 
 persecution in France. There are examples exhibited 
 from the libraries of Robert Dudley, earl of Leicester ; 
 Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I; Charles II; John 
 Evelyn ; Sir Kenelm Digby; Queen Anne and others. 
 
 Quaritch, the London bookseller, designates some of 
 the finest bindings executed in England in the sixteenth 
 century as " English Groliers." It is true the geomet- 
 rical patterns upon the covers play their part as scenic 
 effects, but the dramatis personae are missing. 
 
 The gatherer of books is sometimes apt to consider 
 not so much the volumes he has, as those he does not 
 possess, and many coveted names will be found missing 
 from this bibliophile muster-roll. It may, however, be 
 truthfully asserted that no such representative exhibition 
 has ever before taken place in America.

 This wonderful example of the bibliopegic art is possibly 
 without a peer, and presumably unique. In size a royal 
 folio, it is covered in red morocco, the back decorated 
 with tear-drops and fleurs-de-lys. The sides contain, in 
 the center panel, a full-length figure of Henri III of 
 France, favorite son of Catherine de Medicis, and victim 
 of the assassin monk, Jacques Clement. The figure is ex- 
 ecuted in a mosaic of morocco, following the true colors 
 and form of his costume, the face and hands being in vellum 
 in order that the portrait and flesh tints may be better ex- 
 ecuted. The arms of the king are in the lower left-hand 
 corner, within a border composed of garlands, leaf-sprays, 
 stars, cherubim, fleurs-de-lys, in compartments, and the ini- 
 tial H repeated at intervals.
