We preserved it and offer it for sale here because it is an interesting and rare evidence of the strong humanistic tradition in 17th c. Vienna. The catalogue describes elaborately; with illustrations; the Greek and Oriental manuscripts in the Imperial library in Vienna. Our copy contains the three parts as mentioned above; the missing Greek parts deal with Philogy and History. Provenance: with 19th c. rubberstamp of a Belgian religious institute. .
