Booksellers'' Catalogues in Czech Libraries : A first Inventory

Publication

Abstract

This digital on-line database presents a survey of booksellers'' catalogues kept in libraries in the Czech Republic. Spread out in various libraries, their references were not always easily available and some of them were not known at all.

The aim of this database is to provide a document basis in order to study the role of booksellers settled in the Bohemian Lands and of foreign publishers and booksellers in supplying the Czech lands with books during the second half of the 18th century (1750-1820). It contents about 400 catalogues.
