About This Book

L'étude retrace l'attachement de la maison de Bourbon aux livres depuis le XIVe siècle, en examinant les bibliothèques ducales et royales, leurs manuscrits, reliures et emblèmes. Elle décrit la constitution, l'enrichissement et la transmission des collections, cite possesseurs et exemplaires remarquables, et relate les déplacements et mesures de sauvegarde des fonds au fil des siècles, ainsi que les pratiques de commande, de don et de conservation qui ont façonné ces ensembles bibliophiliques.
