The Radermacher project:
Introduction
The rich book collection of merchant and humanist Johan Radermacher the Elder (1538-1617) was sold by auction on 7 August 1634 at Middelburg in his son Steven's house and the printed catalogue had been produced by bookseller Johannes Hellenius (Hans van der Hellen). A copy of the Catalogus miscellanevs variorvm ac insignium imprimis Latinorum, Italicorum, Hispanicorum ... librorum ... Ioannis Radermacheri senioris ... can be found in Cambridge University Library (Hhh. 1133.5).
