See Catalogue des livres de M. Pierre-Antoine Bolongaro-Crevenna (Amsterdam: Changuion and P. den Hengst, 1789); books from Crevenna's sale contain a small white ticket inside the front cover with a lot number in arabic figures. It would appear that the Bodleian Library bought at the sale through Thomas Payne, who nearly consistently converted prices in Florins at the rate of fl. 10 = £0. 17. 6; some items were bought in by P. den Hengst and were sold to the Bodleian at a much higher price (e.g. B-241(1)); other items (D-010, D-011, D-014(2), H-086(1); N-082) were possibly acquired through van den Bergh, also at prices not relating directly to the hammer prices. See also U. Baurmeister 'The Recording of Marks of Provenance in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and other French Libraries', Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, 91 (1997), 527-9, with illustrations of the Crevenna sale ticket and the curly 'V'."

          note: "a London picture-dealer, Thomas Grange, was put in charge of the dispersal of the library. The Bodleian bought direct from his agent, Laube in Zurich. Most of Arenberg's books have a tiny paper label near the top of the spine, with a running number in ink. On the Arenberg library see Claudine Lemaire, `La Bibliothèque des ducs d'Arenberg, une première approche', in Liber Amicorum Herman Liebaers, ed. Frans Vanwijngaerden, Jean-Marie Duvosquel, Josette Mélard, and Lieve Viaene-Awouters (Brussels, 1984), 81-106, with incunabula discussed especially at 88-93, and the sales ordered by the 10th Duke at 91-3; and Peter Neu, Die Arenberger und das Arenberger Land, 3 vols, Veröffentlichungen der Landesarchivverwaltung Rheinland-Pfalz, 52, 67-8 (Koblenz, 1989, 1995), with the Arenberg library discussed in vol. 1, 401-4, and vol. 3, 545-52; on the family see also Neu, and Prinz Jean von Arenberg, `Die Edelherren, Grafen, Fürsten und Herzöge von Arenberg', Die Arenberger.

R. Ritman (London: Sotheby's, 5 Dec. 2001, p. 271))."
