Rudolf Steiners Bibliothek

A guide through Rudolf Steiner's personal library. Rudolf Steiner's library comprises over 9,000 volumes and numerous journals. Like any library, it has grown gradually and has accompanied its owner over the years. It has endured a move from Berlin to Dornach, was packed away in boxes for years, and is now carefully maintained at the Rudolf Steiner Archive. It is a unique document of Rudolf Steiner's engagement with the cultural and scientific life of his time. It contains dedicated copies from significant contemporaries. It conveys something about the extraordinary range of Rudolf Steiner's interests and shows, down to the details, how he immersed himself in books and actively engaged with the texts, as evidenced by underlinings, marginal notes, and sketches in individual books. The documentation reveals the history.
