Gatch, Milton McC. THE LIBRARY OF LEANDER VAN ESS AND THE EARLIEST AMERICAN COLLECTIONS OF REFORMATION PAMPHLETS.
BSA Occastional Publications, No.1 New York The Bibliographical Society of America 2007 8.5 x 11 inches paperback 212 pages
Reformation pamphlets (or "Flugschriften") were among the first rare book acquisitions of American libraries. Gatch traces the remarkable history of the Leander van Ess collection purchased by the Union Theological Seminary in 1838, the first and largest collection of these religious tracts to arrive in America. He notes how they were originally obtained by van Ess, a Catholic priest, translator of the Bible, and a former Benedictine monk, who built an impressive personal collection of books and manuscripts when monastic libraries were being dispersed during the Napoleonic wars. Gatch has also identified a significant group of pamphlets assembled at Wittenberg during the 1520s, Luther's most creative period. Never before accurately described, the surviving pamphlets from this collection are listed here in the order of van Ess's own catalogue, with a set of indexes to authors and printers, and with concordances to major bibliographical resources. Gatch reviews the history Reformation pamphlet collecting in the United States from these earliest efforts up to the beginning of the twentieth century, and reflects on how these primary resources were used (or neglected) by American church historians. An extensive bibliography and a detailed index of the introductory essays are included. Illustrated. Distributed for the Bibliographical Society of America.

Gatch, Milton McC. THE YEATS FAMILY AND THE BOOK, CA. 1900.
New York The Grolier Club 2000 6 x 8.5 inches hardcover 82 pages
This catalogue is drawn from the collection of the late Professor Marion W. Witt of Hunter College, a poetry student of William Butler Yeats. The collection was eventually given to Milton McC. Gatch, who was directed to find the collection a home or continue to enlarge the collection himself. Wanting to further build the collection, Gatch began widening its original scope to also include works of William's father John Butler Yeats and William's siblings, including Susan Mary, Elizabeth Corbet, and Jack B. Yeats. This catalogue features the books of Gatch's collection.

The Yeats family is well known in the world of book history. Son William Butler Yeats was a determined poet who became popular in literature at an early age. Daughter Elizabeth Corbet Yeats, known as Lolly, assisted in creating a series of printed works that defined the Irish culture in books and illustrations for the twentieth century, while brother Jack became a successful illustrator and painter. As strong as they were individually, the family was even more effective when they worked as a unit to produce books. The Yeats style really took off in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Their influence on the history of the book and Irish art has contributed to the Irish national character.

This exhibition covers the Yeats family from 1890 to 1910. It examines their work in printed portraits, book illustration, children's books, and other book-related areas. A section of fourteen plates completes the work. This exhibition was held from January 26 to March 13, 2000.

Gestel, Paula van, Joop Kaashoek, Hans van der Zwan, Henk Schipper, Rob Poelijoe, and Jaap Molenaar MAPS IN BOOKS OF RUSSIA AND POLAND PUBLISHED IN THE NETHERLANDS TO 1800
Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2011 9.5 x 12 inches hardcover, dust jacket 750 pages
This publication originated from a decision to embark on researching maps in books. Maps in Books of Russia and Poland is a unique combination of maps, plans, and views that concerns the historical and geographical works of Russia and Poland published in the Netherlands prior to 1800. Both maps and books are elaborately described, analyzed and indexed; much attention has also been given to the authors, engravers and publishers.

Subdividing the maps according to their regions, this book brings to light the specific interrelation between the various works by differing authors. The comprehensive introduction describes the history of Russia and Poland from various points of view for specific subjects and comes richly illustrated with over 100 images. The cartobibliography contains illustrations for each of the 700 maps described and the bibliography features a large number of title pages and portraits. A large folding view of the city of Moscow (12 x 72 inches) by Cornelis de Bruijn (1711) has been added in facsimile at the back of this publication. Summaries in Russian and Polish complete this publication.

This unusual combination of research objectives should appeal to map and book historians and collectors alike.

Maps in books of Russia and Poland is part 13 of the Utrecht Studies on the History of Cartography. The series has been prepared under the direction of the Research Program URU-Explokart of the University Utrecht and is aimed at both researchers and laymen with an interest in these matters.
