- Abstract
-
Autograph letters, signed, from Léopold Delisle to Count Ernest Armand and dated between March 26 and April 15, 1879. In the letters, Léopold Delisle observes that the pasteboard of the manuscripts sold from the Anne de Polignac collection consists of fragments of incunables; he describes how he has the bindings dismounted and the fragments replaced with new pasteboard. He specifically asks Count Ernest Armand permission to recover the printed fragments from the binding of a manuscript owned by the count and to replace them with new boards, which the latter gives. Also contains a newspaper article describing the purchase and discovery of incunables in the binding, and a manuscript description of the Medieval manuscript (Beinecke MS 1041) which these letters accompany
