It stands out with its adjustable shelves thanks to a rack system, a technical innovation that allows for height adjustment based on the size of the bindings. Before becoming a movable piece of furniture, it was often recessed into the woodwork of castles; it was the bourgeoisie that transformed it into a standalone piece that could be moved at will. Whether open or glass-fronted, it is the sanctuary of knowledge, once referred to as a "library" in old inventories.
