    Desaparecido: the eventful voyage of the Liber Augustalis.

    We present “Desaparecido: the eventful voyage of the Liber Augustalis”, the first book in the Inutilitas Librorum series.

    The Historical Library of the University of Valencia and the publishing house Publicaciones de la Universitat (PUV) have started Inutilitas Librorum, a new series of monographs on ancient books, the management of bibliographic heritage, the collections of heritage libraries and the tools for their study. The objective is to disseminate studies on these topics and encourage research on the heritage collections that the Historical Library of the University of Valencia preserves.

    The series is included in the Cinc Segles institutional collection and has an advisory board made up of professionals and researchers of recognized national and international prestige.

    Desaparecido, number 1 of this series, tells an interesting and unknown story. On November 26, 1940, the Historical Library of the University of Valencia reported the disappearance of the manuscript of the Liber Augustalis, which had been part of the library of the kings of Aragon in Naples (15th century). A century later, the dukes of Calabria would give it to the monastery of San Miguel de los Reyes de València. In 1837, on the occasion of the confiscation of Mendizábal, this valuable manuscript would be kept by the University Library. Now, eighty-three years later, his whereabouts have been located. An exhaustive study of the existing documentation has allowed us to conclude that the manuscript currently kept in the Peralada Palace Library is none other than the one that disappeared from our library in 1940.

    Tresors a la llum: Obres o trobes en lahors de la Verge Maria

    "Tresors a la Llum: discover the heritage of the UV" is a program of short videos presented by professors and specialists that bring us closer to the historical heritage of the University of Valencia. The last video published, presented by professor Antoni Ferrando, shows one of the treasures of the Historical Library, the incunabula "Obres o trobes en lahors de la Verge Maria",  the first Hispanic poetic print, produced in Valencia in 1474, and published with reason for a literary contest in the city. It is the only specimen known in the whole world.

    Presentation of the book of Josep Lluís Martos

    On Thursday, April 27, Josep Lluís Martos, Professor of Medieval Literature at the University of Alicante, will present the book El primer cancionero impreso y un pliego poético incunable at the Biblioteca Histórica. The author will give a lecture in which he will announce news about one of the jewels of our collection, Obres o trobes en lahors de la Verge Maria, the first Hispanic poetic print, produced in Valencia in 1474 and unique copy in the world. He will also talk about the work Salve Regina by Pere Vilaspinosa, also preserved in the library, which, according to the latest research -which would date it between 1491 and 1495- becomes the first strictly poetic Valencian printed sheet of which there is evidence.
