Brochure n-8, 36 pp, 269 notices, illustrated wrappers.
Dr Weil studied History of Art in Munich with Heinrich Wolfflin (1864-1945) and Paul Frankl(1878-1962). His doctoral thesis (1922) dealt with the 15th century Ulm woodcuts. After hisstudies he opened together with Hans Werner Taeuber in Munich, Karolinenplatz, the Anti-quarian Taeuber / Weil, which specialized in early medical and scientific literature. A nativeof Switzerland, Taeuber joined the NSDAP, and Weil joined the 1933 emigration to London,with half of the antiquarian books inventory.
Dr Weil knew London where he had worked as a bank clerk in 1913-14 at the request of hisfather. He got a job at the renowned antiquarian EP Goldschmidt and opened in 1943 hisown successful bookshop. Even during the war, he kept contacts with the European Antiquar-ian scene. Transactions were made in Paris or on the international train station in Basel. DrWeil never returned to Germany.
