Paris

Imp. Royale

1693

The catalogue of the private library of Charles-Maurice Le Tellier (1642–1710), archbishop of Reims, was primarily intended to aid visitors to his 50,000-volume library, which was open to the public. Scholars quickly adopted the catalogue as a useful universal bibliography, and it became one of the most frequently consulted catalogues of the eighteenth century. The collection now forms part of the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève in Paris.
