Abstract
Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense suffer the Napoleonic rule in Italy, and the Block Book’s story of Carlo Pertusati collection’s is one of the most tragic events in this period. These precious volumes were part of the constituent heritage of the cultural institution in Milan. During the Napoleonic looting of art in the early years of the Cisalpine Republic in Italy, these rare books were requisitioned by Napoleon’s commissioners and transferred to Paris. Thanks to the Restoration, most of the looted books were returned to the Braidense, with the exception of a few specific examples, including the precious Block Book of Pertusati collection.
