Fagel Collection Pamphlets at Trinity College Dublin

Описание: "The Fagel Collection Pamphlets at Trinity College Dublin:
An extraordinary series of 278 bound volumes

There is no doubt that Fagel has bestowed on Dublin the greatest, most coherent collection of Dutch pamphlets anywhere outside the Low Countries. The unconsidered gems, many the only surviving copy of a rare pamphlet or broadsheet, are previewed in the accompanying digital images.

The Fagel Collection at Trinity College Dublin
Purchased for Trinity College in 1802, this library was assembled over a period of a century and a half by several generations of the Fagel family, many of whom held high public office in the province of Holland. It is enormously rich in French, Dutch and English works on politics, religion, economics, sciences, natural history and travel, and reflects the professional concerns of the family.

The material ranges in date from 1460 to 1799 with the greater volume of material published in the 18th century and relates to all parts of the world, but with a particular emphasis on Europe and areas outside Europe where the Dutch had trading or colonial interests.

The special nature of this collection, in terms of both its scope and condition, make it an invaluable resource of primary material for research across a number of disciplines."
