The Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica is a private library located in the heart of Amsterdam. It was founded by Amsterdam businessman Joost R. Ritman, who decided to make his collections part of the public domain in 1984. The library is not linked to any public institution or library. The library with its collections of books and manuscripts and its exhibition rooms are located on Bloemstraat 13-19, Amsterdam, and is freely accessible to the public.
