Bibliophile work

Adam Rudolf Solger was active as a bibliophile and several times brought together extensive libraries, which at that time aroused the admiration of both scholars and enthusiasts due to their rarity and the preciousness of their content. He was guided by the Catalogus historico-criticus librorum rariorum by Johannes Vogt (1695–1764), which was printed several times during his lifetime ( Hamburg 1732, 1738, 1747 and 1753), as well as library catalogs; he bought his books at auctions in Leipzig and Nuremberg.

He sold his first library after the death of his daughter, but shortly afterwards began to collect a new library which contained rare manuscripts, manuscripts and printed works that were admired by princes, counts and scholars. He published a catalog under the title Bibliotheca sive supellex librorum impressorum, in omni genere scientiarum maximam partem rarissimorum et codicum manuscriptorum, quos per plurimos annos collegit, iusto ordine disposuit, atque notis litterariis, ut historicae bibliognosiae opes rudolphantulum augeant Minist. Eccl. Nor. Antistes, in aede parochiali primaria Divi Sebaldi Pastor, Hist. Eccl. atque Litt. PP ac illust. Reipublicae Bibliothecarius , which appeared in three volumes from 1760 to 1762.

In 1766 he sold his library of 6,850 volumes and 96 manuscripts to the Nuremberg Council for 15,000 guilders, which included them in the city library. Another third library was bought in a Bavarian monastery after his death.
