The marks of provenance on Tomás García's bindings for Antonio Rodríguez-Moñino deposited at the Royal Spanish Academy

Abstract

Antonio Rodríguez-Moñino was an important bibliophile of the 20th century. His legacy includes 521 bindings made by Tomás García Perades between 1948 and 1952, in which various marks of provenance can be seen, which can be divided into several groups: In the first are Moñino's own signatures and dedications from the author of the work to the bibliophile himself. The second group contains dedications from the publisher. The third contains the dedications of third parties. And the fourth contains annotations on the provenance, referring to the sale and acquisition by another person or specifying the place of purchase.
