Abstract
Cassiano dal Pozzo (1588-1657), member of the Accademia dei Lincei and art collector, is famous for his “Museo Cartaceo”. Rather well less known is his library which, with its 9,000 volumes, was an exceptional case among the private libraries of seventeenth century Rome. By looking closely at the inventories that have come down to us, the article aims to reconstruct the comlicated story of the transmission and subsequent dispersion of Cassiano’s extaordinary library in the decades following Cassiano’s death in 1657.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
