Our printed catalogues are made for the fairs we exhibit at, and to be kept afterwards. Each is a themed selection: wine and the vine, illustrated science, curiosa - printed in a small edition, with a full description and photographs of every book. We are glad to send one to collectors and institutions: write to us and we will add you to the list.

Manhattan Rare Books Fair 2026
Our antiquarian catalogue unfolds as a journey through knowledge and imagination, where text and image, science and poetry, meet across centuries. Illustrated Words opens with the rich visual world of Porcacchi’s so-called Isolario (1562) and Durer’s Della simmetria dei corpi humani (1591), among others. Learned Manuals explore the discipline of knowledge through works like Arabicae Linguae Novae (1650) and the L’Arte dei cenni (1616), where language becomes a tool of discovery. Finally, Apollonian Wine and Dionysiac Wine sets reason against revelry, pairing scientific inquiry with folklore and verse to reveal the many ways humans have sought to understand, celebrate, and transform viticulture.
