/kloc-In the 6th century, the Reformation and peasant uprising led to the destruction of some libraries. For example, the collections of many Catholic libraries in Britain, Germany and France were destroyed as "papal materials", and Britain suffered the most. However, the situation varies from country to country.
Germany, a religious reformer headed by Martin Luther, emphasized the importance of education. In his letter to senators from all cities in Germany issued by 1524, he stressed: "In order to build a good library or library, we should not be stingy with sweat and money, especially in big cities that have the ability to do so." This appeal has adapted to the objective cultural requirements of the Reformation and the needs of the emerging bourgeoisie. Since then, German city libraries have made great progress.
France,/kloc-In the 0/7th century, the Royal Library of France developed into the leading library in Europe at that time, and the French government spared no expense to send people to various countries to collect precious books. Diplomats and missionaries kept sending back books in various languages, including 45 sets of 3 12 volumes of China literature presented to Louis XIV by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty in China in 697. /kloc-In the middle of 0/7th century, a private library ── Masalin Library appeared in Paris. Curator G Nord is a pioneer of modern library science theory. He believes that libraries should not only collect ancient rare books, but more importantly, vigorously collect modern documents. He turned the Masalin Library into a scientific research library, which dwarfed the Royal Library.
Britain, in Britain, from the middle of16th century to the beginning of17th century is the heyday of humanistic education. T Bodley built the Bodley Library for his alma mater, Oxford University. It was one of the largest libraries in Europe at that time, with 30,000 books at the beginning of18th century. Before the British Museum was established, it actually played the role of the British National Library. Thanks to Bodley's efforts, the library obtained the submitted copy from London Book Publishing Company, and it still has this right.
