Summary

To find out how did Early Modern Age dissertations from KÃ¶nigsberg university survive into the modern age still should rather apply as a desideratum. Using a single collection of Albertina dissertations â around 300 units from the Collection of Rare and Valuable Books of the Russian State Library in Moscow â this article tries to reconstruct the perception history of these printings until the current (primarily institutional) owners. The greater part of the Russian State Library collection of KÃ¶nigsberg dissertations are unsurprisingly so-called items of âdisplaced cultural propertyâ, which arrived in the Soviet Union as a consequence of the Second World War. However, the percentage of items which entered the Russian State Library collection much earlier â at the beginning of the 20th century, is quite substantial. This group of printed dissertations originates in book collections belonging to Russian aristocrats, middle-class intellectuals or ecclesiastics. These collections were expropriated after the October Revolution in 1917 and were committed to public libraries. Former owners of the printed KÃ¶nigsberg dissertations will be described as far as possible and the author will attempt to ascertain the focus of their collecting interest.
