Carolina is Uppsala's University Library. It is one of the most important librarys in Scandinavia. It has about 2 miljon books and over 30 000 handwritten works. Many of the old works in the collection comes from privat donations or are war trophys. As the Codex Argenteus (the Silver Bible) which was taken from Praugh during the Thirty Years' war (17th century). The bible is written in gothic and is from the 6th century. It used to be shown in the exebition room, just to the right when you enter Carolina, but some years ago it was stolen. The bible came back but since then they did not dare to show the original. There are many other items worth seeing though.
There is a big reading room for students. Here I have spent many hours while I was a student. Leave a Comment Address: Dag Hammarskjölds väg 1

Carolina Rediviva is the old university library. It has old maps & historical books. Its highlight is the Codex Argentus, well half of it - written with silver ink on purple vellum! It was written in the 6th century in Gothic, a language now extinct, but familiar to Swedish. Admission is 20 SEK. Leave a Comment
