- Abstract
The library is a chest full of unsuspected treasures, and a search in the book deposits of the Library of the Metropolitan Library of Moldavia and Bucovina "Dumitru Stăniloae" in Iași led to the discovery of 20 volumes of old books, which passed through several libraries, including the Michaelian Academy Library, an institution of real interest for the history of Romanian education in the 19th century. The present work attempts to present these valuable specimens from the point of view of the information they contain, the age of the bindings, vignettes and richly ornamented drawings, from the perspective of the beauty of the watermarks, but above all to establish the route through the libraries of past times. The history of the Michaelian Academy Library is of importance for us, the authors, librarians at the Central University Library "Mihai Eminescu" in Iași, an institution considered the successor of the library founded in 1835. The marking and description of the passage of these volumes through several libraries, as evidenced by the stamps of possession, is also important for establishing a route that takes us along the historical evolution of the Iași Metropolitan Library. The present research shows that these books are carriers of history and carry with them the memory of past years, the pages of these volumes bearing the ex-libris of the Michaelian Academy Library of 1835 containing, in addition to valuable information, also notes of personalities who made remarkable contributions at that time.
