    Univerzita Karlova v Praze Filozofická fakulta Ústav informační studia a knihovnictví BAKALÁŘSKÁ PRÁCE Natálie Kubálková Jan Loužil – bibliofil Jan Loužil - Bibliophile Praha 2020 Vedoucí práce: PhDr. Richard Šípek, Ph.D. Poděkování Chtěla bych poděkovat panu PhDr. Richardu Šípkovi, Ph.D. za jeho odborné vedení, cenné poznámky, vstřícnost při zpracování této práce, profesionalitu, trpělivost a možnost osobních konzultací. V neposlední řadě patří obrovské poděkování mé rodině, bez které bych tuto práci nemohla dokončit. Prohlášení Prohlašuji, že jsem bakalářskou práci vypracovala samostatně, že jsem řádně citovala všechny použité prameny a literaturu a že práce nebyla využita v rámci jiného vysokoškolského studia či k získání jiného nebo stejného titulu. V Praze dne Jméno autora …………………… Abstrakt Jan Loužil, jaroměřský zubař, je dosud málo známou osobností mezi českými bibliofily československé první republiky, přestože byl rovněž nakladatelsky činný v oblasti krásné knihy, jak dokládá několik jeho bibliofilských edic děl Rudolfa Těsnohlídka, F. X. Šaldy, Josefa Pekaře či Karla Čapka z 20. a 30. let minulého století. Práce zhodnotí místo osobnosti Jana Loužila v kontextu vydavatelských snah bibliofilských edic prvorepublikového Československa založené na dostupné sekundární literatuře, přijaté korespondenci od uvedených autorů, dochované v Literárním archivu PNP a zhodnocení dostupných bibliofilských edic, o něž se Jan Loužil zasloužil. Obraz doplní sonda do jeho knižní sbírky dochované částečně v Knihovně Národního muzea. Bakalářská práce bude připravena v souladu s platnými vnitřními předpisy FF UK a dalšími metodickými pokyny a normativními dokumenty. Klíčová slova Jan Loužil, bibliofil, sbírka, sběratelství, korespondence, bibliofilské edice Abstract Jan Loužil, a dentist from Jaroměř, is not quite famous person among Czech bibliophiles in Czechoslovakia although he also was active as a publisher of beautiful book which is by bibliophile editions of Rudolf Těsnohlídek, F.

  • Mulvihill Lecture
    “OLD BOOKS STILL MATTER” Maureen E. Mulvihill, Guest Speaker With Exhibits & Digital Images __________________ Selby Public Library, “Books & Coffee” series, Gelbart Auditorium. April 11, 2017. 10:30AM. Sponsored by Friends of the Selby Public Library 1331 First Street, Sarasota, Florida 34236 Host: Alice Blueglass, Executive Committee, Second Vice-President [email protected] / www.selbylibraryfriends.org / Tel. 941.861.1140 OUR SPEAKER will discuss the value of 'old books' as surviving historical artifacts. Within broad contexts of pre-1800 book design and book arts, she will emphasize the continuing appeal of the early book to specialists (collectors, book historians) and generalists (Virginia Woolf's 'common reader'); she will also show what ‘modern’ editions of old books too often overlook. An established writer on English and Irish literary cultures, Dr Mulvihill is presently at work on Irishwomen's political writings and response, c.1603-1801. Her evolution as a rare book collector is profiled in Fine Books & Collections magazine (Autumn, 2016). For San Francisco’s Rare Book Hub, she wrote a special Guest Series (October-December, 2016), Old Books / New Editions < Publisher's Preview >, being essays on new editions of < Anne Killigrew > < Hester Pulter > and < Margaret Cavendish >. Our speaker is an elected member of the Princeton Research Forum, Princeton, NJ, and Vice-President (2012-2015), Florida Bibliophile Society; originally from Detroit, she is also a member of the Book Club of Detroit (flourishing these 60 years & counting). After 30 years in Brooklyn, NY, she is now a homeowner in lovely Laurel Park, Sarasota, Florida. (Training: PhD, Wisconsin, 1982. Post-doctoral: Columbia University Rare Book School; Yale Center for British Art; and, as NEH Fellow, Johns Hopkins University.) ____________________ .

  • Ann Arbor, Michigan
    Ann Arbor When John Allen and Elisha Rumsey established the town of "Annarbour" in 1824, the two land speculators named the settlement after their wives, both named Ann, and a grove of trees where the women preferred to meet. From that bucolic beginning, Ann Arbor has grown into a city of more than 110,000 people. It is home to one of the nation's finest public universities, and has become a industrial hub for a variety of commercial enterprises, from automotive design to pizza. Since its inception, the Bentley Historical Library of the University of Michigan has collected materials on the history of Ann Arbor and its residents. There are numerous collections that spotlight the city's culture, architecture, history, and a long tradition of social outreach. This guide is designed to inform interested researchers of the existence of unique materials currently held by the Bentley Historical Library. Listed are manuscript collections and selected publications reflecting the life, history and culture of Ann Arbor. These materials are open to researchers for the study of the social, political, religious, and economic dimensions of this community.
