Description
Oxford bookseller Leslie Chaundy purchased Daniel’s large private library after his death and dispersed it through these two catalogues. Approximately 750 titles are listed all together, including 37 books from the Press itself.
Daniel’s library was strong in examples of early printing, Aldines, and English Renaissance poetry, thus reflecting the antiquarian sensibility of his own publications. His collection of approximately 100 Aldines, many in contemporary bindings, was acquired en bloc by the University of Liverpool, where it still resides.
