Book presentation: The Abbey Library in Waldsassen
Waldsassen House of ArtThe Abbey Library in Waldsassen Studies on history, inventory and reception Book presentation by Dr. Georg Schrott, Sprockhövel, and Christian Malzer M.A., Würzburg Venue: Waldsassen, Kunsthaus Waldsassen, Kunstgasse 1 The Waldsassen Abbey Library is a double phenomenon: as the famous hall with its life-size limewood atlases, the interpretation of which has still not come to a definite conclusion; and of course as the book collection, which was transferred to the Amberg Provincial Library after secularization. In the current volume of research, new questions have been raised about the expressive intention of the artistic decoration and new theories have been developed about the prehistory of the hall. The baroque library catalog and the surviving books were examined under various aspects. Free admission.
