Aldus 500: Three Aldines from the Lund University Library and the Einar Hansen Collection
25 May 2015-31 January 2016, Lund University Library (Helgonabacken 1, 221 00 Lund, Sweden)
This small display consist of three significant Aldine books. Two of them are in the characteristic small octave format (M. Tvllii Ciceronis de philosophia, 1541; Le pistole [sic!] di Cicerone ad Attico, 1555) and are part of the Einar Hansen Library. The centerpiece, however, comes from the University Library collections. It is a copy of the famous Hypnerotomachia Poliphilii (1499), donated to the University by King Karl XI about 1680. Please note the the texts in this small exhibition only are in Swedish.
Opening hours: Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri 10am-4pm; Wed 10am-7pm; Sat 10am-2pm.
