Citizenship Chooses to Restore a Group of Three 18th and 19th Century Books from the Casa Rossell Bibliographic Collection.
The Conselleria de Cultura (Ministry of Culture) has just finished restoring a group of three books from the 18th and 19th centuries that belonged to the Casa Rossell bibliographic collection. The books, which were chosen in a participatory process, are:
-
Religionis Catholicae (1742), by Juan Bautista Scanaroli. A religious text that explains the Catholic faith through questions and answers.
-
De la Imitación de Cristo (1842), by Tomás de Kempis. A classic of Christian mysticism that has been translated into more than 50 languages.
-
El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha (1850), by Miguel de Cervantes. One of the most important works of Spanish literature and one of the most translated books in the world.
The restoration work was carried out by the expert restorer, Núria Calbetó. The books were in a poor state of preservation, with damaged bindings, pages torn and stained. Calbetó has cleaned the books, repaired the bindings, and replaced the damaged pages.
The restored books will be on display at the Casa Rossell Museum, where they will be accessible to the public.
The restoration of these books is part of the Conselleria de Cultura’s commitment to preserving Andorra’s cultural heritage. The Casa Rossell bibliographic collection is one of the most important collections of books in the country, and it is a valuable resource for researchers and scholars.
