The Hogwarts library is believed to be one of the most shocking scenes for the audience. The rich collections, every row of bookshelves with elves flying, and the hardcover books that are polished brightly have made the tourism promotion slogans of many countries all the same. Played the slogan "Harry Potter library is visual sense".
When JK Rowling was writing the novel, she had already chosen the location of the library in her heart.
In the bustling city center of Dublin, Ireland, there is this ancient college, built in 1592, which is one of the most famous institutions of higher learning in Europe: Holy Trinity College. Its long history and academic tradition on par with Cambridge and Oxford have attracted scholars from all over the world.
The most famous of Trinity College is its library, which contains a large number of precious works, among which "The Book of Kells" completed by monks in the 9th century is extremely precious.
Originating from the golden age of church development in the early Middle Ages, this book is written in Latin and decorated with gilded manuscripts. There is an illustration at the beginning of each short text. There are a total of 2,000 copies. It is the most perfect handwritten masterpiece in ancient Irish history.
The extremely intricate lace, coupled with a more complex pattern background, is magnified ten times to appreciate, and you will still be excited and amazed by the brushstrokes of every detail.
If you go to understand the story behind this book, you will find that all the craftsmen who made this book were exhausted physically and mentally. detail. When falling asleep every day, some monks even prayed to the gods to pass this painful life quickly.
The monks who made the Book of Kells were only seventeen or eighteen years old, and they were already middle-aged in the ninth century.
However, for Shenwei, no matter how great the Book of Kells is, it is not attractive enough for the library on the second floor, which is the prototype of the real wizarding world library!
Entering the library is a long hall with no end in sight. There are more than 200,000 books in the library, and there are 14 busts of famous thinkers and writers, including Socrates, the three outstanding philosophers of Greece. , Plato, Aristotle, and also Shakespeare, but did not find Wilde, which is a pity.
The long promenade with the raised vault has a unique sense of vicissitudes and longevity, taking away the long time, as if returning you to the Middle Ages.
The bookshelves are arranged from bottom to top, according to the volume of the books, with different letters on the top of each row as indexes. The bookshelves are towering to the top, and the vast sea of books can be seen at the head, so a wooden ladder is specially installed in front of each shelf for climbing.
