@ARTICLE{Michalska_Maria_Catalogues_2022, author={Michalska, Maria}, volume={vol. 39}, journal={Libri Gedanenses}, pages={89-115}, howpublished={online}, year={2022}, publisher={Polska Akademia Nauk, Biblioteka Gdańska}, abstract={The holdings of the PAS Gdańsk Library include the so-called Schwarzwald set marked by its uniform provenance, which is composed of the private collection of books of Heinrich Schwarzwald IV (1619-1672) and items collected in the library of St. Peter and Paul’s Church in Gdańsk from the 15th to the beginning of the 19th century – largely purchased using funds from this patrician. The Schwarzwald set in an almost complete form found its way to the City Library in Gdańsk in 1832; only in 1872 were manuscripts and incunabula added. The paper sketches the history of the Schwarzwald set, placing it in the context of the early modern collectorship in Gdańsk, and presents its five hand-written catalogues, inventories and tables of contents created in the City Library in the 19th century. A quantitative analysis and a thematic division of Schwarzwald’s book collection and the holdings of the church library are also presented. The paper also indicates the benefits of studying broadly-understood book culture, resulting from the examination of historic catalogues and inventories, as well as imperfections in the drawing of conclusions on the basis of library materials without detailed examination of the studied collections.}, type={Artykuł}, title={Catalogues and inventories of the book collection of Heinrich Schwarzwald and the library of St. Peter and Paul’s Church in the collections of the Gdańsk Library}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/127513/PDF-MASTER/2022-LIBRI-04.pdf}, doi={10.24425/libriged.2022.145670}, keywords={Heinrich Schwarzwald, provenances, Gdańsk collectorship, early printed books}, }
