Bibliotheca Thysiana

Leiden

The Bibliotheca Thysiana in Leiden was founded in 1653 by the young Dutch jurist Johannes Thysius. It is the only Dutch book collection from the seventeenth century which is housed in the original purpose-built library. The collection contains some 2500 books and several thousand pamphlets on a great variety of subjects concerning science.

The Bibliotheca Thysiana is perhaps the most splendid example in Leiden of Dutch classicist architecture, a style heavily influenced by 16th-century Italian models.

The library can be visited by appointment against payment.
