DIE BIBLIOTHEKDES URSULINENKLOSTERS
Đurđica Cesar
Abstract
The Ursuline nuns have been active in their religious, cultural and educational work in Varaždin since 1703. Their work concerning the girls' education was particularly important, but unfortunately, it ended in 1945. In their teaching, the nuns - theachers made use of the rich book holdings of their library. This survey does not comprise all the book holdings, but about one thousand books published by 1839. These books can be divided into several topic units:
a) textbooks in various scientific fields (history, geography, natural science,
grammar, history of art, methodology, etc.)
b) morality, education
c) sacral books: 1. The Scriptures
2. liturgies and catechetics
3. homiletics
4. church history and biographies
5. treatises
In the convent, there are also some books on pharmacy (text-books, pharmacopoeia, prescription books, etc.) and some books on music (music papers); those dealing with baroque masters, whose works were performed at the »Varaždin Baroque Evenings« are of particular
importance.
