Abstract

Vernieuwde pocketgids met historische en architecturale notities én een rondleiding in en rond de bibliotheek. De Universiteitsbibliotheek aan het Mgr. Ladeuzeplein te Leuven is niet alleen een prachtig gebouw en een moderne wetenschappelijke bibliotheek die jaarlijks door meer dan 100.000 lezers geconsulteerd wordt, maar ook een historisch monument van formaat. Haar fundamenten zijn verankerd in de meest tragische episode uit de 20ste eeuw : de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Door de verwoesting van Leuven in 1914 brandde de bibliotheekvleugel van de Universiteitshal volledig af. Dankzij royale Amerikaanse schenkingen werd in 1921 een nieuw bibliotheekgebouw aan het Mgr. Ladeuzeplein opgericht. Voor iedereen die kennis wil maken met de ‘geschiedenis' van dit opmerkelijke gebouw, of die een wandeling wil maken in en om de bibliotheek is deze gids een absolute aanrader!

Abstract

Updated pocket guide with history, architecture, biographical notes and a walking tour in and around the library. The University Library at the Mgr. Ladeuzeplein in Leuven is not only a beautiful building and a modern scientific library consulted by more than 100,000 readers a year, but also an important historical monument. Its foundations are rooted in that tragic episode in the 20th century, the First World War. In the mass destruction of Leuven in 1914 the library of the University was burned and completely destroyed. Thanks to generous American donations the new library building on the Mgr. Ladeuzeplein was established in 1921.

Abstract

Journeying from ancient Mesopotamia to modern times, this book shows how the urge to write, read and collect books has always gone hand in hand with the impulse to destroy them. This investigation also the reveals a new danger facing libraries today: the threat of the digitalization of books.

Abstract

Matthew Battles, a rare books librarian at Harvard and a gifted narrator, gives a colourful, fast-paced tour through the stacks from ancient times to the present. Through the ages, libraries have not only accumulated and preserved, but also controlled, inspired, shaped, hidden and obliterated knowledge: Battles' spirited journey takes us from Boston to Baghdad, from classical scriptoria to medieval monasteries, from the Vatican to the British Library, from socialist reading rooms and rural home libraries to the beginnings of the World Wide Web. Along the way, Battles explores not only how libraries are built but also how they are destroyed, from the neglect and decay of Alexandria (and myth of its burning), to the burnings of scrolls in ancient China, to the destruction of Aztec books by the Spanish conquerers - and in our own time, the burning of libraries in Europe by the Nazis and by Bosnian Serbs in the Balkans.
