Hello all, Excuse me for being a little off-topic here, but I could use some guidance from some of the scholars on this list...
My Grandfather, a 96 year old former Dean and PhD in ancient and medieval history, has a significant library of very old and rare books which he has collected over his lifetime. He is in increasingly poor health and suffering from dementia, and some of these books need to be sold to help pay for his medical care. I am hoping that some of you can point me in the right direction as to possible courses of action. I visited his library this past weekend and took pictures of some of the oldest books, and some of his volume sets, and I am not sure what to do next. Do any of you know who might be interested in such a collection or selected titles, who might be able to help us evaluate what we have and recommend how to sell them? One example is Quintilian's "Rhetoris Clarissimi, Ora", printed in 1550. There are several 17th and 18th century books and volume sets, as well. I really wish I would have taken Latin back when I was in school... Any helpful guidance, advice, or suggestions would be appreciated.
