The Internet has tremendous impact on our lives. Imagine the significance of the manuscript in the Middle Ages and printing in the early modern times! In cooperation with Leiden University, De Lakenhal presents 200 extraordinary books that changed the worldview, encompassing seven centuries of reading, of producing and trading in texts in Leiden.
National and international libraries and museums have lent their rare items for this exhibition. These include the Discours de la méthode by René Descartes, published in Leiden in 1637, and the only preserved copy of the Historie van den Vier Heemskinderen from the Bayerische Staats Bibliothek in Munich, printed in Leiden in 1508. The exhibition also highlights popular Dutch children’s books, and Panorama magazine. Panorama was printed by the Leidse Rotogravure Maatschappij until well into the 20th century. Films shows the switch from manuscripts to print, and explain how printing works operated in the previous century. The exhibition ends with the latest digital developments. This completes the circle, as writing in the Middle Ages was a solo activity, just like working on the computer is today. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
