The Duke of Roxburghe's library included illuminated medieval manuscripts, incunabula, fifteen books printed by Caxton, and all four Shakespeare folios. Reissued here together are the 1812 sale catalogue and supplement, both annotated by an auction attendee who recorded the name of every buyer and the price paid for each book.
