Book Auctions. N. IX.
In the case of book auctions [after someone has deceased], the books
must be inventoried, as has always been the practice, and a list thereof sent
to the territorial authority, whereby it should also be considered whether it
really is to the benefit of the deceased's heirs to have his books put up for
sale in such a way.
Directive issued in Bohemia, 6 August 1781, and 29 January 1782.
However, if book lists are sent to the territorial authority after
the death of a dean, priest, administrator, chaplain, auxiliary priest, or in
fact any private person as such, these must include the complete title of each
work, as well as the year and place of publication.
Directive issued on 14 May 1783.
Apart from these cases, however, in which the books that form part
of an inheritance are put up for public sale, no lists whatsoever are required
of the books making up a bequeathed private library, and still less are any
books to be taken away from the heirs.
Imperial decree of 6 June 1783.
