Trésors multilingues à l'école Estienne – #Paris Aujourd’hui, j’ai eu la chance de feuilleter des ouvrages rares conservés à la bibliothèque de l’école Estienne. Ici un dictionnaire multilingues du XVIIe siècle, petit vertige temporel, entre latin, néerlandais, espagnol, italien, portugais, anglais et français…Et toujours, cette émotion intacte face au grain du papier ancien. #biblio #livresanciens #typographie #histoireduLivre #rare #books #oldbooks #library

Each year during the American Library Association’s “Banned Books Week,” librarians display famous books that have been challenged in the past as well as the most frequently challenged books in the present day. This book-centric approach seems to be the standard. By focusing on the books themselves, however, do librarians tacitly concede that these books are indeed controversial?
