Description:
Uppsala: Regiae Academiae Ups. Impensis, 1745. [iv],153,[1]pp., large paper copy, text browned, later paper wrappers, unopened, uncut. The first printed history of Uppsala University Library, written by its young vice director. Celsius' appointment had been fiercely opposed by the Chief Librarian, Andreas Norrelius, and in 1746 he attacked the present work in a spiteful, anonymous pamphlet. Claes Annerstedt largely agreed with Norrelius' opinion of Celsius in his history of the university. However, more recent research by Gert Hornwall (1968) takes the opposite view and considers Celsius' book to be a pioneering work in Swedish library history. From the library of Bernard Breslauer, New York.
