A comment on establishment date[edit]

Sources say NSK was established in 1607. I've left it at that, but I think it's highly dubious. NSK traces its roots back to the Jesuits' library, which was formed in 1607. However, that library was what it was: library of the Jesuit order, and in no way, shape or form a "national" library. My guess that this is done in order to artificially make NSK look older than it actually is. GregorB (talk) 20:01, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A correction here: Jesuits' library was not a national library, but it is now considered (perhaps retroactively) a university library, since the Zagreb University stems from the Jesuit Academy. So yes, in a way, what is today known as NSK was really established in 1607. GregorB (talk) 21:09, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I left it also, but in sources we see that Jesuit grammar school was founded then. Earlier mention of nay library is actually 1611, but in 1669 Academy is formed, and that may be the trace of real founding year of Academic library. I am not sure that we should use 1607 for a founding of National and University Library in Zagreb. --Ąnαșταη (ταlκ) 12:10, 25 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
