what the rest of the world was doing in the
realm of chemistry.
And so the youthful traveller sojourned here
and there over the face Of the earth, learning
all he possibly could about the people he
visited and cleaning new ideas on industrial
chemistry. He spent much time in France,
India, Egypt, China and Japan.
Particularly interesting to me were Persia
and Turkey" declared DR.. Vollbehr. Il be-
came so fascinated by Persian miniatures that
began a collection of them. In 1900 began
to assemble oriental collection of the most
valuable books and manuscripts dealing with
Mohammed and Mohammedanism. Then, in
1914 when I had this collection about perfect,
presented it to the Sultan of Turkey"
1t was when he was visiting Mr.. Alfred
Sutro, the wealthy German bibliophile, in San
Francisco in 1899, that DR.. Vollbehr had the
first hint to assemble incunabula. Mr.. Sutro,
he says, gave him some excellent advice about
collecting books with a definite purpose in
view, books that would be a marvellous legacy
to posterity, books of a certain kind or period.
That was all very WELL" chuckleld DIR.
Vollbehr, ''for had no book then-only my
pocketbook, and it was empty" However, when
we look upon the treasures Of the Vonbehr
collection, we have our doubts about the
pocketbook being entirely empty.
After an extended collection Of all kinds OF
books especially Oriental works." he continued.
'I found that had plenty Of quantity but
not enough OF quality, and as quality Is TO be
found only in incunabula 1 restricted my
collection endeavorS to that specimen. The
quality of incunabula consists not only in their
rarity and in their age, but also in their unique
value for science and history"
And so it was that this German doctor
decided to collect incunabula-books printed
between 1450 and 1900, the first SO years of
printing. He went at this hobby of collecting
books as he does everything gusto and
a tremendous enthusiasm
But let's continue with the story of his first
visit to America In 1899, hearing of the
upon joining in the gold rush, in spite of the
fact that he was not well at the time How
ever, he did get as far Victoria British Column
bia when he turned back travelling from Seattle
on horseback down through California Yosemite,
Death Valley, and down into Mexico In
that year, receiving fattering offer from the
man who created the Nobel prizes to represent
his munitions firm in the Orient, DR.. Vollbehr
accepted, returning first to Germany for a
visit
But just he was about to set out for his
new position, fate brought along the young
lady who is now Nine. Vollbehr, and SO instead
going to the Far East, he married and chose
to live in Charlottenburg. Here he worked
independently as a chemist and invented
valuable optochemical instruments which were
used in the World War. Before the war he
was chairman of the board of directors of an
internationally known chemical concern.
During the imitation in Germany in the
latter part of 1928" the doctor went on, Il
took one of my manuscripts to London and,
giving it in auction, received 5000 pounds
sterling This was the celebrated Ptclemaeus'

THE story of how DR.. Vollbehr came to
collect rare books is, indeed an interesting
one His life has been-and is today-ex-
traordinarily fascinating and colorful-not at
all the humdrum affair that it is for many Of
us But then, after talking with this
brilliant German doctor does not see how
life could be anything but interesting for him
A delightful person, this DR.. Vollbehr His
appearance contradicts the popular formula
for a distinguished scholar. Ones first
impression of him is of a sturdily built trim
business man, meticulously groomed and with
the most extraordinarily twinkling eyes His
mustache, one notes, is trimmed with military
precision. His pleasant expression bespeaks
his genial nature and his propensity for
relating humorous stories that leave his
visitor chuckling long after hearing them.
His youth he spent in the German seaport
Kiel, where he was born on April 27, 1873.
His father being a prominent merchant, the
youthful Vollbehr had every educational
advantage, and although he always dallied
with the idea Of going to sea, his ssrvices were
refused because of weakened eyesight And
SO young Vollbehr attended the universities at
Kiel Marburg and Berlin. When, in 1897, he
received his last degree in chemistry his
father made him a present of a three-year
trip around the world, merely suggesting when
he pade him "Auf WiederseheE" that he
travel where he pleased and see for himself
