"The case studies presented in this volume help illuminate the rationale for the founding
of libraries in an age when books were handwritten, thus contributing to the comparative
history of libraries. They focus on examples ranging from the seventh to the seventeenth
century emanating from the Muslim World, East Asia, Byzantium and Western Europe.
Accumulation and preservation are the key motivations for the development of libraries.
Rulers, scholars and men of religion were clearly dedicated to collecting books and
sought to protect these fragile objects against the various hazards that threatened
their survival. Many of these treasured books are long gone, but there remain hosts
of evidence enabling one to reconstruct the collections to which they belonged, found
in ancient buildings, literary accounts, archival documentation and, most crucially,
catalogues. With such material at hand or, in some cases, the manuscripts of a certain
library which have come down to us, it is possible to reflect on the nature of these
libraries of the past, the interests of their owners, and their role in the intellectual
history of the manuscript age."
