Bibliotheca Rosenthaliana, Jewish literature library in Binnenstad, Netherlands.
The Bibliotheca Rosenthaliana contains over 20,000 volumes of Jewish texts, manuscripts, and books covering history, culture, and philosophy at the University of Amsterdam.
Following its establishment through Leeser Rosenthal's collection, the library survived World War II despite being targeted for transport to Germany and partial damage.
The collection houses the Esslingen Machzor from 1290 and medieval Hebrew manuscripts, documenting centuries of Jewish intellectual and religious traditions.
Researchers and visitors can access the library's extensive collection, digital catalogs, and archives through scheduled appointments with the staff.
The Pekidim and Amarkalim archive within the library contains documents detailing the early Jewish settlement history in Palestine.
