Abstract

Este artículo intenta reconstruir los “usos” de la Biblioteca Imperial de Viena al final del siglo XVI, fundamentalmente el legado inédito del bibliotecario alemán Hugo Blocio, su correspondencia personal y su Hebdomas Bibliothecaria. La biblioteca distaba de ser una institución representativa de la corona imperial, como la Kunstkammer de Praga, pues sus usos dependían de la específica configuración espacial y de las condiciones políticas de la ciudad de Viena, así como de las inclinaciones intelectuales de sus bibliotecarios. En definitiva, se trata de una biblioteca al servicio de los miembros de la corte imperial, estudiantes y diplomáticos entre Viena y Praga, o una parte de la República de las Letras europea.
This article seeks to reconstruct the uses of the Imperial Library in Vienna at the end of the sixteenth century. The study draws mainly on the unpublished legacy of the Dutch librarian Hugo Blotius, specifically on his personal correspondence and Hebdomas Bibliothecaria. The Library was far from being a representative institution of the Imperial Crown (such as the Kunstkammer in Prague), and its uses depended on the specific spatial configuration and the political conditions of the city of Vienna, and on the intellectual cast of its librarian. As a result, the Library was mainly a circulating one for the members of the Imperial Court, and for scholars and diplomats moving between Vienna and Prague, and thus was a part of the European republic of letters.
