They comprised the 'beautiful library' (\u003ci\u003etreffelyke bibliotheek\u003c\/i\u003e) of the patrician Pieter de Graeff (1638-1707), member of a prominent regent family. This monograph draws on unpublished archival sources and De Graeff's book auction catalogue to explore his library and its significance. While tracing the microhistories of De Graeff's relatives against the backdrop of the Dutch Republic's unfolding history, this research reveals his book collection as a microcosmos of knowledge accumulated through generations. De Graeff's \u003ci\u003eboeken kamer\u003c\/i\u003e -- the library room in his Amsterdam residence - is also investigated and visualized through computer graphics, resulting in an online, interactive and annotated 3D model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chiara Piccoli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004706666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004706668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Chiara Piccoli","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47072208552191,"sku":"9789004706668","price":157.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bba28f0c-06cf-4a44-b5c3-53dc1ba79272.jpg?v=1753416114","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pieter-de-graeff-1638-1707-and-chiara-piccoli-9789004706668","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
