The Invention of Rare Books, Fifteen Eighty Four

As a term, ‘rare books’ is bandied about so frequently that it cannot be said to be very precise: anything from the merely unusual to the unfamiliar to the unique. It is a convenient portmanteau term, whether for journalists, the book trade, librarians, book collectors or historians of the book more generally.
