Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the devastation of the historic Library of the University of Louvain and the University Halls during the First World War and the subsequent rebuilding project of the library, thanks to funds exacted from Germany as reparations for its war crimes. The author laments the destruction of not only the printed books and nearly 1000 manuscripts in the library but also the famous University Halls, all of which had taken five centuries of faith and intellectual effort to build and which were destroyed in three days. The author highlights the efforts of organizations and individuals alike in rebuilding the University Halls as well as in contributing to the new library, which aims to house a live, up-to-date collection of books, designed to meet the immediate requirements of a progressive general university. The library has received contributions from all over the world, and the author emphasizes the importance of continuing to receive contributions to ensure that the new library is fully stocked and able to serve its purpose of supporting the advancement of education.
