With the advent of print in the 15th century, Europe’s cultural elite assembled personal libraries as refuges from persecutions and pandemics. Andrew Hui presents a uniquely personal account of the life and enduring legacy of the Renaissance library. Beautifully illustrated, “The Study” is at once a celebration of bibliophilia and a critique of bibliomania. Incorporating perspectives on Islamic, Mughal, and Chinese book cultures, it offers a timely and eloquent meditation on the ways we read and misread today.
