- A two-part publication: 40,000-word essay and catalogue of 127 manuscript descriptions (several equivalent to articles). Methodologically innovative in confronting archival sources and material evidence from books, the essay reconstructs the formation and development of this great Enlightenment library. Abandoning traditional focus on the aristocratic collector, it unearths the crucial role of tutors, librarians, wives and friends - and confessional affiliation - in library-building, and intellectual interests cutting across class and gender in the long eighteenth century. Manuscript research reveals fifteenth-century libraries hidden within the library, reframing understanding of Italian humanism through discoveries on texts, scribes, illuminators, presented in definitive descriptions.
