In 2020, the Faculty of Medicine celebrates its 800th anniversary. To kick off the celebrations, discover the most valuable works from the historic medical library in a special exhibition titled: “Books and People: The Birth of the Montpellier School of Medicine Library.” Discover numerous rare books in the Tekné Makré rooms of the Historic Building, from September 21 to November 9.
A long humanist tradition
From Henri Haguenot to the collector Xavier Atger, via Chaptal, Prunelle, and Barthez, the richness of Montpellier’s medical library is also a testament to the great humanists who built it up beginning in the second half of the 18th century. Through personal donations, bequests, purchases, and revolutionary confiscations, this encyclopedic collection reflects a strong commitment to making available to doctors, students, and the general public “the best works written on each subject” (Prunelle).
An exceptional heritage collection
Medieval and modern manuscripts, incunabula, books, journals, theses… This exhibition offers a chance to discover the rare and diverse items held in these collections: the Montpellier Songbook, Charlemagne’s Psalter, Arnaud de Villeneuve’s Treatise on Wine, works by Hippocrates and Galen, and Redouté’s Liliaceae… So many treasures for the public to discover. An essential reminder of a humanistic and encyclopedic vision of knowledge, of which these works remain magnificent testaments to this day.
