Need help setting a value on 16th Century MS
 
I have a sinlge ( double-sidded) page of a 16th Century manuscript by an anonymus engraver. It is called Ponticale Romanun, and was published in 1543, in Venice.
I live in Bel Air, MD, about 30 miles north of Baltimore. Can anyone provide specifics on how. who I can contact?
Thanks,
Michael

Maybe your local museum may be able to help? What a cool thing to have btw. What does it say?

Generally a rare book dealer of long standing repute in your area is the best source to get a free off hand appraisal on things like that. Is it art work or just print? Prints of engravings where the plates no longer exist, if the engraving was done by an important artist, can be worth a substantial amount of money. Rembrandts, for example, can be worth millions.

Kirk,
I'd gladly part with it for a million!
Its a page from a Roman ( catholic) liturgy, complete with the appropriate musical notations.
