A catalogue of just over 500 lots makes up the auction of Books, Autographs & Prints of 24-25 June. A first section, with eight rare incunabula including a splendid copy of Dante della Magna (Florence, 1481), precedes the sixteenth-century editions, rich in rarities and curiosities. Noteworthy are the 1548 vernacularised edition of Ptolemy, with its dozens of maps, the two 1502 editions of Dante, Aldo's and the counterfeit, several valuable illustrations such as Porcacchi, Vitruvius, etc.

Among the separate sections, a large selection of more than 20 editions of esotericism, alchemy and magic, and a fine culinary section with 23 lots from various eras are worth mentioning.

Between the 19th and 20th century are no less than 36 editions of artist's books, some of absolute value and uniqueness. Worthy of special mention is the extremely rare first edition of Pushkin's Boris Godunov (1831), a valuable correspondence by De Chirico and a collection of Bodoni documents of absolute interest.
