Abstract

Hieronim Pinocci (1612-1676), Italian merchant, councilman and diplomat, was also an owner of the one of the most precious book collection in Poland of that time. His books, probably dispersed not long after his death, have characteristic ownerships marks (numerus currens and mottos) which make them easy to identify. The aim of the article is to present small but valuable collection of Pinocci’s books recently identifi ed by the author at the Ossolineum library.
