This exhibition offers a fascinating journey through time, providing a detailed insight into Luxembourgish libraries from the 16th to the 19th century. It explores documentary history from a novel perspective, showcasing masterpieces from the special collections of the National Library of Luxembourg. The exhibition highlights the diversity of historical libraries, ranging from monastic and ecclesiastical collections to private libraries of figures such as Pierre Roberti (circa 1566-1636) and Pierre-Ernest de Mansfeld (1517-1604). The tour also emphasizes the influence of notable personalities such as Jean-Baptiste Halle (1748-1824) and Dominique-Constantin Munchen (1763-1818), whose efforts shaped the documentary history of the country. Special attention is given to printed books, often overshadowed by manuscripts perceived as more spectacular. In this context, different aspects related to the material object are highlighted: the authors, subjects, dedicatees, social groups who consulted them, their traces of use or provenance. These details attest to the value and usage of these precious books.
