"Other parts of the collection have come to the library through donations,
acquisitions and testaments. Here are books by Classical authors like Cicero
and Virgil, by post-classical writers like Boethius and by medieval theologians
like Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventure. Here are the divine revelations of the
Swedish 14th century saint Bridget, Danish and Swedish law texts as well as a
Faroese manuscript with the so called Seydhabrevidh, a famous letter on sheep
husbandry. We also find a copy of the Legenda Aurea, a collection of saints'
lives, of accounts of events in the lives of Christ and of the Virgin Mary and
of information about holy days, by Jacobus de Voragine, very popular during the
Middle Ages and a few copies of the medieval bestseller, the Book of Hours. The
famous so called Lundse liederen, a fragment of a Dutch "Minnesänger" of the
13th century is also part of the collection. Deposited at the University
Library by the Institute of Astronomy in Lund are several astronomical
treatises, about the movements of the planets with descriptions of instruments
with movable, threedimensional plans and diagrams. A few manuscripts are in
other languages than Latin: Greek, Russian, Dutch, German, French apart from
the Nordic already mentioned...
