10th Sammelband 15-16 Event: Books in new contexts
Open to all, no registration needed. A co-arrangement between Uppsala University Library and the Gabriel Naudé Center (Lyon).
The theme of the meeting of the Sammelband research group will be to address the phenomenon of foreign books in a new context, with a shared history. The event will be divided into three parts: a series of papers, the analysis of copies from the collections of Uppsala University Library and a visit to a historic library. The themes that will be explored in the papers presented during this meeting include:
• Sammelbände formed of editions from diverse geographic origins: how and when were they put together? Were they created specific issues? Did this involve more certain types of books than others?
• The spoliation of books and Sammelbände: were such volumes broken up, reordered, or rebound to form new books or kept in their original state? Has this led to a better preservation of original contexts?
• The movement of books from or towards central and eastern parts of Europe, whether it be through commerce, the displacement of owners, or looted books.
• Understanding the distribution and circulation of copies that formed part of Sammelbände and their changing contexts.
