The search for copies of the Anatome Testudinis Europaeae in European and American libraries

Journal Title: Z Badań nad Książką i Księgozbiorami Historycznymi - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue

Abstract

For several years now, Cercle d'Histoire Alsace-Lithuania has been carrying out an action aimed at complementing and popularizing knowledge about Ludwik Henryk Bojanus (1776-1827), an Alsatian naturalist and professor at the University of Vilnius. The search for copies of Anatome testudinis europae, the work of Bojanus' life and one of the most important zoological books of the nineteenth century in European and American libraries is one of the elements of this action. A detailed form will be sent to libraries in 2019. The authors have already obtained information on the copies in libraries in Paris, Strasbourg, Montpellier, Warsaw and Vilnius and also about a copy with coloured illustrations from a private collection in Germany.
