PICOT, EMILE. - Catalogue Des Livres Composant la Bibliothèque de Feu M. Le Baron Rothschild.

. Reprint N.Y, 1965. 5 vols. Publisher's red buckram with gilt titling, fine. (Burt Franklin, Bibl. & Ref. 96).*One of the principal reference works, especially for French fifteenth- and sixteenth century books. It describes the unrivaled collection which, during his short life, Baron James de Rothschild (1844-1881) had built up with almost unlimited means at his disposal. Picot's detailed and erudite catalogue is exemplary [Breslauer & Folter. Bibliography: Its History and Development, no. 135].
