Image title
The Mazarine library at the Institut de France, 23 Quai Conti, Paris 6. The Mazarine Bibliotheque is the oldest public library in France. Coming from Cardinal Mazarin's personal bibliotheque (1602-1661), it was considerably enriched by Gabriel Naude, to the point of becoming the first private library in Europe in the 18th century with nearly 40,000 volumes. To ensure her continued existence, Mazarin decided to join her in the College of Four Nations (intended for the education of sixty young people from the four provinces united in the kingdom under his government). College, which he founded shortly before his death. The library was restored in 1945 to the Institut de France, which has occupied the buildings of the former College of Four Nations since 1805.
