Illustrated in colour. - In 1912 Jan Herman van Heek (1873-1956), a textile manufacturer from Enschede, bought Huis Bergh Castle in 's-Heerenberg and subsequently furnished it with paintings, sculptures, furniture and utensils from the Middle Ages and early Renaissance. In the 1920s Van Heek also began collecting medieval manuscripts, single leaves and incunabula. Although he did not collect systematically and was largely guided by his personal taste and intuition, he succeeded in amassing an impressive range of manuscripts and single leaves. - Entree ticket pasted on upper-pastedown and Huis Bergh brochure on first endpaper, otherwise a good copy
