In service, I remain Lady Cainder nic Sheanlaoich, JdL, GdS, PdO Research junkie The Print Collection of Ferdinand Columbus (1488-1539) by Mark McDonald 2 volumes ISBN 0-7141-2638-1 $180.00 British Museum Press, May 2004 (Descriptions courtesy of the The David Brown Book Company Fall 2004 Catalog) Ferdinand Columbus, son of Christopher Columbus and author of the first published account of a voyage to the New World, was also the owner of one of the largest libraries assembled during the Renaissance and the most important early collection of prints. By the time of his death in 1539, the collections numbered over 3000 prints. Although it is now dispersed, a detailed inventory survives in the Biblioteca Colmbina in Seville, and this book is a process of reconstruction: half the works have been identified. Man of the identified prints are very rare, with around 400 surviving as unique examples. Artists represented are from Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Switzerland, and included Durer, Cranach, Ugo da Capri, Lucas van Leyden and Marcantonio Raimondi. The inventory also contains descriptions of prints by prominent artists that have not survived, and others that shed light on the enormous printmaking industry that existed in the Renaissance. ... A CD with a searchable database of the inventory is included. For those interested in the Beguines: Vulgariter Beghinae: Eight Centuries of Beguine History in the Low Countries H.
