"In 2018, a donation from Dan Brown enabled the Ritman Library to digitize thousands of rare occult texts under the project titled 'Hermetically Open', now accessible online."
"The online collection features 2,178 digitized books in various languages including Latin, German, Dutch, and French, with a particular focus on alchemical and magical subjects."
The Ritman Library has digitized and made available 2,178 rare texts, thanks to a donation from Dan Brown. This collection focuses on pre-1900 books related to alchemy, astrology, and magic. The books are presented in several European languages, predominantly Latin, which contains specialized jargon. Readers can use a search filter to find English-accessible books published in Cambridge or London. The digitized texts allow users to experience old, rare works virtually while also navigating materials in various languages, though more accessible for those familiar with European languages.
