Paul Bergmans

Paul Jean Etienne Charles Marie Bergmans (1868–1935) was a librarian in chief of the University of Ghent,[1] and musical historian.

After the end of the First World War, he became the university's head librarian and a full member of the royal academy.

In the meantime, he had become the first person to hold a chair in Music History at a Belgian university.

He began teaching history and heraldry at the Ecole des Hautes Études de Gand.

[3] In 1913, together with Alphonse Roersch, he took up the editorship of the Bibliotheca belgica after Ferdinand van der Haeghen's death.
