A magnificent collection of antique books collected by the heir to a Cincinnati brewery fortune is to be sold at auction next week. “The sale features books in all forms, including ancient papyri fragments, Persian manuscripts, European books of hours and Hebrew manuscripts, as well as book-related curiosities, like the only known round bookbinding of the Renaissance, made in leather in 1590 by Caspar Meuser of Dresden for Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn, Prince-Bishop of Würzburg… The sale is expected to raise $4.5 million.”
