Medieval Manuscripts - Incunabula - Renaissance Books - Early Modern Books and Journals

R. C. Scholars in Manuscripts and Antiquarian Books was founded by Roberto Casazza and consists of a team of experts in Book History, Medieval and Early Modern Culture, and related areas.

We assist libraries, vendors, and personal owners with researched descriptions and catalog records of manuscripts and antiquarian books of scientific, historical, and material significance, including aspects such as provenance, marginalia, or bindings.

Examples of our work can be seen in the links below.

Based in Argentina, we work internationally. We routinely work from digital copies. We have language expertise in ancient Greek and Latin, as well as Spanish, English, French, German, and Italian. Our subject expertise includes the History of Science, Philosophy, and Literature, as well as Book History, and our team is always growing.

We also carry out research and graphic design work on the history of companies, institutions, people, etc., through our subsidiary undertaking, called HISTORIA URBANA. See more at www.historiaurbana.com.ar/en
