An artist marked the anniversary of Leiden University Library's founding (October 31, 1587) with a series of AI-generated illustrations: a Gothic library built inside the chambers of an anatomical heart, with scholars reading and passing books across centuries and maps. The post recalls that the library published one of the earliest printed catalogues in 1595 and collected manuscripts from many countries, helping knowledge travel beyond the Netherlands.
