NOTES:
[1] With the Anschluss, or annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany in March, 1938, the possessions of Alphonse and Clarice de Rothschild were seized and expropriated almost immediately by Nazi forces. The contents of their library were taken directly to the Nationalbibliothek, or National Library. Most but not all of the books and manuscripts were returned to Clarice de Rothschild immediately after World War II. In 2004, upon the recommendation of the Austrian Commission for Provenance Research, the objects that remained in the National Library were released by the Austrian State and returned to Bettina Looram de Rothschild.
