Abstract
From 29 October 2021 until 23 January 23 2022, the Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library in Antwerp will host the exhibition ‘Knights in armour. Chivalric tales from Karel ende Elegast to Don Quichot’. The emphasis will be on printed romances from the 15th and 16th centuries, though attention will also be given to the manuscript transmission, themes and structure of many of the narratives; to woodcuts, the afterlife of some stories into the 19th century, the importance of the romances for our cultural heritage, the European scope of certain subject matters, the invention of printing and Antwerp as a printing centre. Even though the promised loans of the Library of Congress in Washington are still pending due to the pandemic, the recently purchased romances from the Heritage Library as well as loans of rare books from many European institutions are well worth a visit.
