Pierre Delsaerdt is Professor of History at the University of Antwerp. He teaches book and library history, the history of the Low Countries and various courses on cultural heritage. His research focuses on the history of the printed book and of (institutional and private) libraries, mainly in the Southern Low Countries from the 16th to the 19th century. Related to these areas of interest are the history of the book trade, the history of bibliophily and the "patrimonialisation" of the book from the 18th century onwards.
