Oldest Jewish Library in the World - Ets Haim - Sephardic Amsterdam

Heide Warncke's talk on "Highlights from the Ets Haim collection" to Sephardic World on 19 July 2020.
Ets Haim is the oldest still-functioning Jewish library in the world. It was founded in 1616 and has been housed in the historic complex of the Portuguese Jewish community of Amsterdam since 1675. In 1889 the private library of the then librarian David Montezinos was donated to Ets Haim and the library is known since then as Ets Haim/Livraria Montezinos.
