The so-called "Corpus Montoya": Dutch 18th-century library catalogues



In the so-called “Corpus Montoya”, which contains auction catalogues of private libraries, six catalogues of circulating libraries have also been included:

  • Hendrik Scheurleer junior’s circulating library in The Hague, 1750-1763, of which catalogues survive for 1751-1762.
  • R.J. Noordbeek’s library in Leeuwarden, started before 1754, and continued by A. van Lingen until 1762, of which catalogues survive for 1754-1756.
  • Scheurleer’s successor, Hendrik Bakhuyzen, also in The Hague, 1764-1818?, of which we studied the surviving catalogues for 1777-1801
  • Van Riemsdyk and Van Bronkhorst’s circulating library in Bergen op Zoom, probably begun in 1790, of which a partial catalogue remains from 1792.
  • Jan van Gulik’s circulating library in Amsterdam, started between 1776 and 1785, and still operational in 1811, of which we studied the surviving catalogues dated 1797-1798.
  • Johannes Jacobus Beets’s circulating library in Haarlem, of which catalogues survive for 1797-1799.

Outcome: 613 items.
