Library Acquires the IV Edition of Kierkegaard's Complete Works
On Thursday, December 6, 2012 in the University Reading Room, there was a ceremony honoring the gift of the IV edition of the Complete Works of Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855). The volumes were edited by N.J. Cappelørn and published by the Søren Kierkegaard Forskningscenteret of the University of Copenhagen.
The work includes 55 volumes (28 volumes of text and 27 of critical apparatus) in the original language. They were donated to the Library by the Danish couple Kirsten Bjarup & Kjeld Søndergaard, friends and benefactors of the University, who were present at the event.
After St. Josemaria Escrivá and Bl. John Paul II, Kierkegaard is one of the most represented authors in the University Library with over 300 documents. He is also present in many works found in the Fabro Collection that with this acquisition now becomes even more valuable. The philosopher Cornelio Fabro profoundly knew Kierkegaard's metaphysical existentialism, and was a translator, editor, and commenter of his works.
