Sold Antique Books

In this section you will find our archive of sold books, a historical collection comprising antique books, manuscripts, incunabula, first editions, rare books, facsimiles, illustrated works, religious books, scientific treatises, early literature and other volumes that were previously available at Antiguedades.es.

Sold books and historical archive

Over the years, numerous books and printed documents from different periods have passed through our gallery, especially from the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Some stood out for their rarity, edition, author, printer, content or provenance, while others were particularly interesting for their bindings, illustrations, engravings, maps, handwritten annotations or decorative value.

This archive makes it possible to consult volumes related to literature, religion, history, science, medicine, law, travel, art, music, genealogy and other areas of knowledge. It also offers a visual reference for bindings, papers, typefaces, title pages, engravings, bookplates and printing techniques characteristic of different periods.

This archive constitutes a historical catalogue of sold books and not an active sales section. If you would like to see the volumes currently available, you can visit our antique books for sale section, where we regularly add carefully selected new works.
