http://www.ilab.org/eng/documentation/989-recent_book_thefts_in_the_library_of_the_abbey_of_montecassino.htmlThe Italian Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association has published a list of books stolen from the Library of the Abbey of Montecassino. The library’s director, Dott. Francesco Rosa, has kindly given permission to inform all ILAB booksellers about this recent theft in detail.The monastery was founded by Benedict of Nursia in 529. There he wrote the Benedictine Rule which became the founding principle for Western monasticism.The list of stolen books comprises incunables and early printed books, many of them printed by Aldus Manutius in Venice, for example the works of Aristotle (1495) and Gaza’s “Introductionae grammatices libri quatuor” (1495), as well as Copernicus outstanding work "De reuolutionibus orbium coelestium" (1566), Aliaco’s “Concordantia astronomiae”, printed in Augsburg (Germany) in 1490, and Hartmann Schedel’s “Liber chronicarum” (Nuremberg 1493), from which woodcuts were stolen.If you have any information about the books, please contact ALAI President Fabrizio Govi.INCUNABLESAliaco, Petrus deConcordantia astronomiae cum theologia...Augustae vindelicorum, Herardus Ratdolt, 1490AristotelesOperaVenetiis, per Aldi Manucii, 1495Gaza, TheodorusIntroductionae grammatices libri quatorEiusdem de mensibus opusculum sanequam pulcrtumApollonii grammatici de constructione libri quatorHerodianus de numerisVenetiis, Aldus Manutius, 1495Lucretius Titus CarusDe Rerum Natura.
