Katalog perepletov Iakoba Krauze i masterov ego kruga (Catalogue of bindings by Jacob Krause and masters of his circle)

Moscow: Pashkov dom, 2015. This is a refreshing open treatment of trophy art in which the author, an eminent specialist on early printed books, begins by acknowledging the origin of of the Russian State Library's collection of manuscripts and printed books in artistic bindings by the greatest German book binder of the sixteenth century: they were spirited from Dresden to Moscow and deposited in 1946 at Russia's principal library (then the All-Russian Lenin Library). Dr. Dolgodrova collaborates with German colleagues as she makes these "relocated cultural valuables," monuments of European book art, available to scholars and libraries in a scrupulously prepared catalogue that describes and illustrates over 300 works. 655 p., approx. 300 color illus., Rus. with title page in ENGLISH.
