LIBRARY | History

The Institute’s library fund comprises circa 6.000 volumes of special interest for the history of philosophical thought, for intellectual history, for the history of cultural terminology, for ancient philosophy and for ancient Greek and classical Latin philology. The largest part of the texts are research-tools: critical editions of works, lexica and special linguistic repertoria, lexicographic and philological instruments. We are talking of works that are generally of difficult access. For facilitating use, the fund is divided among: Journals (philosophy, linguistics, philology, and informatics); Works (authors within the Institute’s research lines); Studies (monographs, miscellanies, and proceedings); Tools (thesauri, lexica; dictionaries and special encyclopedias; repertoria; indexes, and concordances). The library owns also one of the largest and specialized microfilm collection of dictionaries and special lexica in Europe’s diverse linguistic areas.
