| Summary: | In between Flanders and Hainaut : Godefroid de Naste (died 1337)
and his books
The inventory of personal effects made after the death of Godefroid de Naste contains
a list of 24 books constituting one of the oldest aristocratic libraries of the Southern
Low Countries. This well documented lord owned property in Imperial Flanders
(the domain of Rode, until 1320) as well as in Hainaut (Naste, Hansuelles, Biévène,
a mansion in Mons) and assiduously frequented the court of Hainaut. Delicate
problems of interpretation arise in the reading of this document, especially in the
identification of the works listed. It also raises more general questions. Does such
an inventory represent all of its owner’s books ? How was this library formed ? Is it
a reflection of the tastes of one individual or rather of an era or a milieu ? To what
extent does accessibility – used books, models that could be copied – play a role in
the formation of such a collection ? |
