Chapter Poggio and Other Book Hunters

---

Seeking out rare and precious texts, or book hunting, was a favorite pursuit of the Renaissance humanists, but the activity had been practiced
with enthusiasm (and often guile) since antiquity. This paper discusses the phenomenon over time, looking at representative book hunters from Aulus Gellius
(second century CE) to Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459), who was probably the
most famous book hunter of them all.
