Nesvyžiaus ordinacijos kunigaikščių Radvilų bibliotekos asmeninės knygų kolekcijos ypatybės: iš Baltarusijos nacionalinės mokslų akademijos Centrinės mokslinės J. Kolaso bibliotekos rinkinių

Abstract

In the holdings of the Rare Book and Manuscript Department of the Jakub Kolas Central Science Library of the Academy of Sciences of Belarus, there are 3520 volumes of books from the Nesvizh Radziwills' library. The chronological span of the collection is XV century-the fifth decade of the XX century. The books from this library carry stamps, exlibrises, superexlibrises and many other markings, related or unrelated to the Radziwiłł family. The article addresses the issue of author and owner (ownership) inscriptions. Every fourth book from this collection has ownership inscriptions. The books of the XV-XVIII centuries have many inscriptions, the ones of the XIX century much less so, the XX century publications have virtually none. A large part of the Radziwills' collection kept in the library comprises the books which owners were not always familially related. The collection includes books not only from the Princes Radziwills' collection, but also fragments of many other private libraries from Belarus dated as far back as the XVI century.
