From May 28th to June 7th of 2013, the Pompeu Fabra University organises the exhibit Selected Works of the Bibliotheca Mystica et Philosophica Alois M. Haas.

The exhibit displays a selection of the books in the Haas Collection that are included in the catalog Selected Works of the Haas Library. This catalog, presented during the V Haas Lectures, aims to offer a panoramic view, the wider the better, of the diverse aspects of professor Haas' works during his scientific career, mainly about Western spiritual tradition, and particularly about Literature, Philosophy and Theology Studies of European Mysticism.

The proposed selection in the catalog gathers editions from the 16th century, by authors like Fray Luis de Granada; from the 17th century, like an impression of Swiss physician and naturalist Paracelsus' works, or of Flemish mystic Jan van Ruusbroec, John Climacus, Roberto Bellarmino, Louis de Blois, Johannes Tauler; from the 18th century, editions by the mystic Gerhard Teerstegen; or from the 19th century, as the works of Chateaubriand. First editions of Meister Eckhart's or Heinrich Seuse's works, that were critical to philosophers like Hegel and Schelling, are remarkable. The works by Luther and Zwingli may be found in the selection, together with the writings by visionaries like Emmanuel Swedenborg, or the first modern editions of great visionaries like Hildegard von Bingen or Had
