Chateau de Chantilly, France
Having inherited the rich manuscripts of the Princes of Bourbon-CondĂ©, the Duke of Aumale became âdecidedly bibliomaniacâ, according to his own expression, around 1850, during his exile in England. The prince multiplied acquisitions across Europe, from booksellers and at major auctions. Wealthy, infatuated with history and well advised, Aumale purchased complete collections or single volumes such as, The TrĂšs riches heures du duc de Berry.
The prince had a keen interest in the most ancient books, rare and precious book. He relished the best preserved books, classical literary and artistic heritage, and the history of France. The collection brings together an exceptional set of unique books, in particular illuminated manuscripts, including major pieces of medieval art.
The quality of antique book bindings is one of the collectionâs riches. The Duke of Aumale placed orders with the greatest binders of his time (Trautz, CapĂ©, Duru) and in 1850 he admitted âI know rare books are expensive; I know that beautiful bindings are too; but I love both, and especially the two together, and I want to pay the price they deserveâ.
Of the 60,000 volumes contained in the Chantilly collection, almost 19,000 volumes are exhibited in the Reading Room: these 1,500 manuscripts and 17,500 printed documents cover all fields of knowledge. The manuscripts, the oldest of which dates from the 10th century, include 200 illuminated medieval manuscripts. The printed documents include approximately 700 incunables (pre-1501) and 2,500 books printed in the 16th century.
