Another treasure turned up this summer. Kelly Addleman, our public services librarian, received an email from a researcher in Germany who has been making a survey of the illumination appearing in early bibles published by Anton Koberger. Well, it turns out that we have one in our possession. We own a Biblia Latina which was published in 1478. The illuminations are so beautiful that I thought I would share some with you. I am also including a letter that establishes its provenance. Click on any of the pictures for larger versions. Also, if you would like to see it in person feel free to contact me or any of the other librarians to set up an appointment.
This is Toma, Grom's mother, without whom none of this would have been possible.
