Join us to celebrate the translation of the oldest book in the peace collection of the UN Library & Archives Geneva: the 1504 publication entitled Fedus Christianum by Ambrosius Alantsee.
This translation from Medieval Latin into English, made possible through a generous donation from the Angelini Foundation, is part of the Library’s efforts to make its historic collection more accessible to interested readers and researchers worldwide, and to continue to explore knowledge of peace and multilateralism as it has evolved through the ages.
The UN Library & Archives Geneva has worked to build research and international understanding since its founding in 1919 as the Library of the League of Nations. Today, it houses more than five million print items – and many more electronic and digital resources – in the fields of law, politics, social sciences and multilateralism.
And, it continues to hold the collection of the former Library of the League, including several notable books on peace spanning from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. Fedus Christianum belongs to this collection, and was purchased as part of a selection of resources exploring pacifist ideals over time.
