The Royal Library of Brussel has a history that goes back some 600 years. During the reign of Philip the Good (1396-1467), the library had one of the finest collection of manuscripts in Europe. And now you can explore this fine collection and much more. kbr.be/en/treasure/

The Dukes of Burgundy established a stirring treasure: the Library, a collection of manuscripts that is so unique that it has name of its own.

If you are wondering how many medieval manuscripts have been recycled by early modern printers, the answer is immense. In his 1658 inventory Balthasar Moretus II recorded a weight of 3,300 pounds of vellum manuscripts to stretch the friskets and tympans of the printing presses.
