This is as good an opportunity as any to mention how the library books were divided when the university was split into a Flemish and the newly created Walloon university:
“But the majority of works were just divided by shelfmark: Odds stayed in Leuven, evens left for Louvain-la-Neuve.”
A very Belgian solution! Would be interesting if one half would contain material of higher quality than the other. Maybe odd-lettered people created the more important works?
