Dr. Jörn Günther Rare Books AG internationally buys, sells, and appraises manuscripts, miniatures, and rare early printed books from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. From engrossing text manuscripts to outstanding illuminated prayerbooks and, through time, to block books and the first incunable editions, we offer an excellent selection of museum-quality treasures. With their origins in western European traditions, our books are both written and printed in several different languages. Thematically, books with sacred content, such as magnificently decorated bibles and other theological texts, figure prominently in our inventory. Furthermore, the gallery offers numerous illustrated manuscripts and early printed literary, philosophical, and historical works, along with scientific treatises and early travel reports.
Jörn Günther’s passion for medieval books and manuscripts predates the establishment of his art dealership in 1990, which today consists of two locations in the historic Swiss municipalities of Stalden and Basel. With a team of specialists at the helm, Dr. Jörn Günther Rare Books provides scholarly services, expert advice, long-term support on the development of collections, and the acquisition and sale of manuscripts, miniatures, and rare early printed books from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
With a lifetime of bibliophily and 40 years of scholarly pursuit under his belt, Dr. Jörn Günther has earned a reputation as one of the world’s foremost specialists and voices of authority in his field. He has been instrumental in the composition of some of the best collections worldwide and has worked with leading international museums and institutions, such as New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and alongside private collectors on a quest to create and develop their own collections.
