BRIEF ILLUSTRATED CATALOG OF LOST BOOKS
-Stories told by the bibliophile Stauffenberg HANS IN YOUR VISITS TO THE LIBRARY BAU (AIR) IN THE EARLY YEARS OF THE CENTURY "

I must confess that the presence of Mr. Stauffenberg in my library makes me a revulsion that he had never felt for another living being.
In fact, even today, after eight months of view among the books look out the window at least twice a month, I can not repress a gesture of contempt for his reptilian eyes with cataracts, with carved snakes on his staff, to the lust, as we go, his body wrapped in search of old copies of those signs that make them unique.
Some nights you sleep in your library, sulfur sweating and laughing at my ignorance, stroking a volume coveted by all the world and bibliophiles acquired here in my library, at a bargain price. But stand it. I just spent the choppy "Good afternoon" hide the truth behind a mask of cold courtesy and sometimes, she even smiled.
Because when Mr. Staunfferberg arrives wanting to talk, makes me remember stories like this:

HISTORY 1

Surely here, in this business where you sold books purchased at wakes, I will not find any copies of the Aldine Publishing, part of the honorable Aldus Manutius.
From what I'm talking about is of prints made ​​in Venice in the first decade of the sixteenth century. Manutius invented the font known as italic, published a hundred works of classical Greek authors, and also had time to spread hermetic texts.
C. 1505 Manutius was a special order. Fugger family, bankers of the Habsburgs, he requested a copy of Picatrix and one of The Emerald Tablet, in German, presumably at the request of himself Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I.
For 450 years nothing was heard of those books. But in 1960 and The Emerald Tablet Picatrix Fugger requested by silently auctioned in New York. They were paid one hundred and twenty-five thousand U.S. dollars. Thanks to some friends I could find out who gave them at auction. He was a compatriot of mine, a former SS refuge in Brazil. I traveled. I managed to interview him. He declined to say how he had managed the books. He also refused to give me the details of the purchaser.
A few days ago I got a cold obituary to the news of the death of my compatriot and a letter written by him in which he tells me as he had rescued the books of the last hideout of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, before the alleged suicide and flames.
There, as a postscript, she reveals the name of the alleged buyer. You can not imagine people according to this letter are still alive.
