• W1508486265 abstract "TEN MINUTES UP THE STREET from Notre Dame, a stone's throw from the Gallo-Roman ruins of the Cluny, improbably lies the Northland. In the heart of the Latin Quarter, the quiet Rue Vallette houses the surprising whose 160,000 books, 120,000 reference works, over 1,000 periodicals, and 160 manuscripts make it the world's largest Scandinavian library outside Scandinavia. A working scholar's delight, the Bibliotheque Nordique prides itself on the accessibility of its holdings; open to everyone, the library requires no card and charges no fee. The proximity of the stacks, directly adjacent to and under the reading room, and the speed of the librarians and their assistants account for a waiting time of less than five minutes. This extraordinary library owes its beginnings to the generosity of French amateurs of Scandinavia. In 1710, Charles Maurice Le Tellier, Archbishop of Reims, bequeathed five-hundred books on Scandinavia, including precious sixteenth- and seventeenth-century volumes in Latin and French, to the library of the St. Genevieve Abbey, which after the Revolution would become the foundation of one of France's great research libraries, the Bibliotheque St. Genevieve on the Place du Pantheon. Over 150 years later, in 1868, the heirs of Alexandre Dezos de la Roquette, former French consul to Denmark, presented to the library Roquette's of 1,500 Danish and Norwegian books, almost afl of them rare, on the history, literature, and law of Scandinavia. Joining the two bequests, the library created a collection scandinave. When Xavier Marmier, member of the Academy and the library's curator, wrote to the Minister of Public Instruction to inform him of the collection's importance, he signalled out a remarkable group of ancient bibles; precious missals and breviaries, including the incunabulum the Breviarum Upsalense of 1496; important historical works, like the 1554 Gesta Danorum of Saxo Grammaticus and Olaus Magnus's Historia de gentibus septentrionalibus; extremely rare anonymous pamphlets published during the reigns of Gustavus-Adolphus and Christina of Sweden; prized eighteenth- and nineteenth-century editions of Icelandic eddas and sagas, including those of Snorri Sturluson; and numerous original editions of works of Scandinavian romanticism. In 1885, Henri Lavoix, the chief administrator of the St. Genevieve Library, travelled to Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, a watershed in the history of the future Bibliotheque Nordique, for Lavoix's trip marked the beginning of the Nordic countries' support of the collection. All three countries promised their help, university libraries and publishing houses gave Lavoix hundreds of books, and the King of Sweden accorded his royal protection to the collection, to whom he presented his own works elegantly bound in the colors of Sweden and France. In 1896, a Scandinavian librarian was named to aid the French curator, a practice which still continues. Erik Lie was the first to hold the post, remaining in Paris until 1905, when he was succeeded by Fritjof Palmer. Lie and Palmer helped the curator Eugene Capet in the enormous task of cataloguing the growing collection; the old oak catalogue houses thousands of cards written out painstakingly in Lie and Palmer's elegant scripts. …" @default.
