CONFERENCE
From December 3 to 4, the Warsaw University Library organized an international conference “HINC OMNIA” on culturally and historically significant private collections in public memory institutions. Laura Kreigere-Liepiņa, an expert at the Library of Rare Books and Manuscripts “Bibliotheca Rigensis” of the LU Library, presented a paper on the valuable collection of “Bibliotheca Rigensis” and the private library of Riga humanist Daniel Hermann. The topic of the paper: “Bibliotheca Rigensis and one of its most valuable book collections in the University of Latvia Library: the intellectual heritage of Daniel Hermann (1543–1601), Humanist from Riga and secretary to the Polish king Stephen Báthory”.
In addition to popularizing the collection of “Bibliotheca Rigensis”, new contacts were gained and cooperation opportunities expanded. In discussions with colleagues from Poland and other European countries, particular emphasis was placed on bibliographically recording incunabula from the "Bibliotheca Rigensis" collection in the CERL (Consortium of European Research Libraries) database MEI (Material Evidence in Incunabula) and identifying and recording historically significant provenances in other CERL databases.
