The Best in Bibliography: 16th ILAB Breslauer Prize Submissions
During the 41st ILAB Congress, preceded by ILAB’s International Antiquarian Book Fair, both in Paris in April 2014, and both coinciding with celebrations around the 100th anniversary of the Syndicat national de la Librairie Ancienne et Moderne (SLAM), the 16th ILAB Breslauer Prize for Bibliography will be awarded. This prestigious international Prize of US $ 10,000 for a scholarly work in the field of bibliography is awarded every four years.
The jury under the direction of Prize Secretary Arnoud Gerits will meet in autumn 2013 to study and to discuss more than 70 books published worldwide which have been submitted to the Prize. The panel of judges consists of three antiquarian booksellers and three scholars who share a wide reputation for their knowledge and experience: Felix de Marez Oyens (President of the B.H. Breslauer Foundation), David Adams (Manchester University), Jean??Marc Chatelain (Bibliothèque Nationale de France), Poul Jan Poulsen (Aldus Antikvariat, Denmark), Umberto Pregliasco (Libreria Antiquaria Pregliasco, Italy), and Arnoud Gerits (A. Gerits & Son, The Netherlands).
The list of submitted books about books is, just as last time, of high quality and full of new and interesting bibliographies on a wide range of subjects, and many of them are not only of excellent quality, but also show the continued commitment of scholars, collectors, dealers and professional bibliographers to this important and interesting part of the daily life of everyone who is seriously concerned with the history of the printed book.
Have a look at the impressive list of the 16th ILAB Breslauer Prize for Bibliography submissions. In the upcoming weeks ILAB will present all these works on its website (www.ilab.org). We hope you will enjoy the series of book presentations!
