For the Love of Books: The Story of Isaiah Sonne and His Collection
Isaiah Sonne (1887-1960) was a distinguished scholar, paleographer, bibliographer, librarian, book dealer, and collector active between Habsburg Galicia, Fascist Italy, Mandatory Palestine, and Postwar America during the first six decades of the twentieth century. Although he was a prolific author and appreciated by many individuals, primarily because of his paleographic skills and profound knowledge of the Italian Renaissance, manuscripts, and early printed books, his figure and scholarship have been neglected after his death. Based on unexplored archival materials I have gathered during the last five years at the American Jewish Archives in Cincinnati, the National Library of Israel, and the Ben-Zvi Institute in Jerusalem, my current work aims at reconstructing the incredible story of this scholar and his endless love for Italy and book culture.
