This exhibition is a true journey through time, offering a detailed look at Luxembourgish libraries from the 16th to the 19th century. It explores the history of documents from a new perspective through masterful pieces from the special collections of the National Library of Luxembourg. The exhibition highlights the diversity of historical libraries, from monastic and ecclesiastical collections to private libraries of figures like Pierre Roberti (circa 1566-1636) or Pierre-Ernest de Mansfeld (1517-1604). The path also showcases the influence of notable personalities like Jean-Baptiste Halle (1748-1824) and Dominique-Constantin Munchen (1763-1818), whose efforts have marked the documentary history of the country. Special attention is paid to printed books, often overshadowed by manuscripts, perceived as more spectacular. In this context, various aspects related to the material object are highlighted: the authors, the subjects covered, the dedicatees, the social groups that consult them, traces of usage, or provenance. This information underlines the value and significance of these precious books.
