莫伯驥（1878-1958），字天一，少年學醫，畢業後於廣州自設「仁壽西藥房」。莫氏一家以田力讀書為彝訓，陳編世守，嬋嫣不絕。伯驥父啟智有「庸言書屋」，精研宋學，所藏宋元名臣大儒之遺書森森連屋；伯驥少年時因生計棄儒從商而致富，獨甘飯蔬食，癡迷古書，練積三四十年如一日，終以五十萬卷藏書「上企瞿楊，無慚丁陸」，惜其藏書多散失於抗戰動盪歲月；著作達五十種之多，亦毀於戰火，惟存出版〈五十萬卷樓藏書目錄初編〉及〈五十萬卷樓群書跋文〉兩種。

本輯主要以明代江南書畫家為主，吳門泰斗文徵明小楷、松江⭕董其昌逸筆、雲間派領軍沈士充山水，都表現出明代中、晚期之主要面貌，側寫書🐠畫史。除大師墨寶，莫氏收藏體系亦包括小名家, 如清初江蘇金天德墨梅，清新雅致，為地緣書畫提供另一面貌。
