Abstract

Questions of survival and loss bedevil the study of early printed books. Many early publications are not particularly rare, but others have disappeared altogether. This is clear not only from the improbably large number of books that survive in only one copy, but from many references in contemporary documents to books that cannot now be located. In this volume leading specialists in the field explore different aspects of this poorly understood aspect of book history: classes of texts particularly impacted by poor rates of survival; lost books revealed in contemporary lists or inventories; the collections of now dispersed libraries; deliberate and accidental destruction. A final section describes modern efforts at salvage and restitution following the devastation of the twentieth century.

Abstract

Book destruction has often been carried out by authoritarian regimes, but dictatorial governments are not the only perpetrators. Extremists - through terrorism, war, ethnic cleansing, genocide, and other forms of mass violence - are also responsible for widespread cultural destruction, as Knuth demonstrates in this new book. Whether the product of passion or of a cool-headed decision to use ideas to rationalise excess, the decimation of the world's libraries has occurred throughout the 20th century, and there is no end in sight. Cultural destruction is, therefore, of increasing concern to the library community, educators, human rights and civil rights activists, and concerned citizens. Part I of the work is devoted to struggles by extremists over voice and power at the local level; in these, destruction of books and libraries was employed as a tactic of political or ethnic protest. Part II discusses the aftermath of power struggles in Germany, Afghanistan, and Cambodia: the winners were utopians who purged libraries in efforts to purify their societies and maintain power. Part III examines the fate of libraries when there is war and power vacuum. The book concludes with a discussion of the events in Iraq in 2003, and the degree of responsibility of American war strategists for the widespread pillaging that ensued after the toppling of Saddam Hussein.

Abstract

L’ampleur des pillages effectués par les forces nazies durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale dans tous les pays occupés a été révélée à la Libération. Des opérations d’identification et de restitution des livres spoliés ont été mises en œuvre, notamment en Europe occidentale. En mars 2017, un colloque international, co-organisé par le Centre Gabriel Naudé de l’Enssib, posait cette question : où sont les livres spoliés par les nazis ? Une partie des contributions sont rassemblées dans cet ouvrage, plus particulièrement, celles cherchant à localiser quelque 14 000 livres spoliés déposés dans une quarantaine de bibliothèques françaises entre 1950 et 1953 et à en connaître les caractéristiques.

Abstract

The destruction on the morning of All Saints Day 1755 of the heart of the city of Lisbon by an earthquake, tidal wave and the urban fires that followed was a tragedy that divides the 18th century in Portugal. One casualty on that fatal morning was the Royal Library, one of the most magnificent libraries in Europe at the time. 'The Lost Library of the King of Portugal' tells the story of the lost library - its creation, collection and significance. This documented study describes the creation of the library, its cultural significance in 18th-century Portugal, the acquisition of single volumes as well as entire libraries from across Europe and the role in this of Portugal's most talented diplomats. It include the collection of manuscripts from the celebrated library of Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland and the unpublished correspondence that was exchanged during the negotiations between London and Lisbon. Throughout his reign, the devout Dom João V set out to conjure up his own vision of Rome and the papal court he never saw. Two chapters are devoted to Italy, one to the talented archaeologist Francesco Bianchini at the papal court, including the unpublished correspondence between him and his royal patron Dom João V, as well as the guides to Rome and art and architecture at the ducal courts of northern Italy, both commissioned by the king.

Abstract

Etude sur les bibliothèques en France entre 1939 et 1945, période durant laquelle l'occupant nazi surveille la production éditoriale et exige que les auteurs de la liste Otto (liste des auteurs juifs ou antinazis) disparaissent des rayonnages des bibliothèques. Sous la direction de B. Fay, la BN devient un instrument de collaboration d'Etat et les autres bibliothèques publiques sont réorganisées.
