contents: The librije (library) of Zutphen is 18m long and 8 m wide. Tall windows provide a good lighting. Although it dates from 1561-1564 this library is organised according to a medieval model. Bookcases are not found, the books are put on wooden scaffoldings with a fixed slanting desk on both sides. Above the scaffolding is a rod to which the books have been fastened by chains. Between two desks is a seat on which one can consult the books on two desks while seated.
