  The book collection of I.Shuvalov at the Scientific library of the Academy of Arts of Russia
Probably, Shuvalov hadn't included these 30 volumes to his register of ouvrages and engravings, left at the Academy, by reason of their less value.
They have superexlibrises of Shuvalov and existed at the academic library before: they are 4-volumed "Discours sur l'Histoire Universelle" by J.-B.Bossuet (Amsterdam,1738) and "Dictionnaire iconologique" (Paris,1756), which was brought to the library by Shuvalov "not to lose the sight of the practical aim of mythology in the academic education".
To have a notion of the value of Shuvalov's investment to the academic library, it's enough to say that his collection amounted about a half of the existent at the Academy books at that time, not to mention high value of the books themselves.
