Over four evenings in June and July, those interested will be given an insight into selected treasures and collections held by the library: from Bernhard Riemann’s lecture on geometry and the Luther collection to highlights from the Americas collection and the medieval ‘Bellifortis’ manuscript.
The events will take place on Thursdays at 18:00 in the SUB’s historic building. Attendance is free of charge, but registration is required.
Please note: This event will be held in German. A good command of German is recommended.
