"Knygos turi savo likimus": Karaliaučiaus institucijų knygos ženklai Lietuvos nacionalinėje bibliotekoje saugomose knygose

LTIlgus metus Karaliaučiaus mokslo ir kultūros institucijose kauptas ir saugotas dokumentinis paveldas dėl istoriniu kataklizmų bei neabejotinų Lietuvos šviesuomenės pastangų tapo mūsų šalies istorijos ir kultūros paveldo dalimi. Jo sklaida ir populiarinimas leidžia atskleisti knygotyros dalį, kuriai pastaraisiais metais vis daugiau skiriama dėmesio, t. y. knygų nuosavybės ženklus. Istorinėms Karaliaučiaus mokslo ir kultūros institucijoms bei asmeninėms bibliotekoms priklausiusių knygų ekslibrisai, lipdės, antspaudai, įrašai patys yra dokumentinis paveldas, svarbus ne tik informacine, bet ir menine prasme.

ENLithuanian book science has been currently paying considerable attention to book ownership marks. Historical book ownership marks are considered the most important. The subject is covered not only in single publications but also during international research conferences. The fact is that our country is not much interested in the ownership marks of books, possessed by cultural and research institutions of Königsberg, although this topic is undoubtedly noteworthy, has encouraged to write this article. The article discusses book signs of cultural and research institutions of Königsberg, mostly found in the collections of the Department of Rear Books and Manuscripts of the Lithuanian National Library: bookplates, stamps, wafers, and records. Königsberg remained an important European University town until the end of the Second World War, i.e. a complete demolition of the town due to war actions. In 1940 around 650 thousand books were collected in the funds of the library of Königsberg University, which had been established in the 16th century. It was one of the largest libraries of humanities of Central and Eastern European universities. The Lithuanian intelligentsia started organising expeditions aimed at transportation of vanishing documentary heritage to Lithuania immediately after the war. According to the agreement, the Central State Library (the former name of Lithuanian National Library) received a portion of Lithuania Minor act collections, some books from the Königsberg University Library and part of the Library archive.The ownership marks of books, i.e. bookplates, wafers, stamps, and records allow tracing provenance of books - they may have belonged not only to public but also to personal libraries. Concerning the libraries of Königsberg, the books from the library of the famous 16th century theologian, poet and bibliophile Paul von Speratten (1484-1551) and one of his oldest known bookplates of Eastern Prussia, a widely known bookplate from the Wallenrodt library, a stamp marking the collection of the German pedagogue, music theorist Dr Friedrich August Gotthold (1778-1858) and other book ownership marks that are significant not only from information point of view but are considered as pieces of art are highlighted in the article.
