<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 8260383, member: 128351&quot;]Charles V created a Royal Library, with 917 manuscripts. All his successors added new books, François I in the 16th c. ordered that all printers should provide the Royal Library with 2 copies of each book printed in the kingdom (this law is still valid). Later the Royal Library became National Library, Imperial Library, Royal, National, Imperial again, National since 1871. It was first hosted in a tower of the medieval Louvre castle, then moved to Ambroise and Blois, came back to Paris in the Latin Quarter, moved in 1666 rue Vivienne, now has been settled in 4 huge towers overlooking the Seine by president Mitterrand. It has more than 15 Million books, not counting newspapers, magazines, reviews. All that history was started by Charles V !!! [ATTACH=full]1456710[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
