Enjoying international acclaim since the Golden Age, Amsterdam’s Ets Haim – Livraria Montesinos is the oldest Jewish library in the world. The collected works of Library Ets Haim comprise over 500 manuscripts dating back to 1282 and 30,000 printed works dating back to 1484—including works by the philosopher, Benedict Spinoza.
Significance
The library is housed in the monumental 'Esnoga' complex of the Portuguese Jewish community of Amsterdam, where it has been since 1675. In 1889, former librarian David Montesinos donated his personal collection to the library on condition that it would be accessible. The library has since been known as the "Ets Haim - Livraria Montesinos".
Collection
The collection of Library Ets Haim is listed with UNESCO World Heritage. Its literary works encompass all aspects of Jewish scholarship, and many aspects of literature, history and the natural sciences. Of the 20000 volumes, roughly 65% is in Hebrew. Ets Haim also owns some scores of choral music.
