With the participation of the Danish Royal Library in Copenhagen, this exhibition catalogue presents a beautiful collection of Judaica and Hebraica in the form of manuscripts and printed books. This collection dates back to the European Enlightenment, when kings, nobles, and high ranking officials took interest and pride in acquiring manuscripts and books. The acquisition of manuscripts and books from the private collections of David Simonsen and Lazarus Goldschmidt as well as the survival of the Royal Library’s books from the ravages of the Nazi army during the Second World War make this an important collection of Judaica and Hebraica.
