Description
Scope/Content: Manuscript notes and accounts written within a bound set of printed booksellers' catalogues. Multiple leaves excised throughout the volume. Paper worn and missing at hinges and along edges of binding.
Scope/Content: A gathering of several printed catalogues from 18th century Geneva booksellers Fabri et Barrillot, later possessed by a Burgundian wine merchant and land-owner who used the blank leaves to record the details of his business and accounts. Four Fabri et Barrillot catalogues dating 1725-1728 are included; Three appear complete while one is clearly only a partial version. Marginalia as well as some notes on interleaved blank pages record further information and give updated inventories. There seem to be some Fabri & Barrillot accounts from the period 1728-1730 on the last three pages of the volume. The majority of blank pages are taken up with the business and accounts of the anonymous Burgundian, dating 1765-1795 and including information on tenants, harvest yields, wine sales, and livestock. For the most part, these notes are organized in thematic groups throughout the volume.
Condition: Contemporary marbled boards.
