5.0 out of 5 stars
behind-the-scenes look at a scholars' paradise,
By
This review is from: The Huntington Library: Treasures from Ten Centuries (Paperback)
The Huntington's most famous treasures include a lavishly decorated fifteenth-century manuscript of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, one of only eleven known vellum copies of the Gutenberg Bible, Benjamin Franklin's handwritten autobiography, and a rare double-elephant folio of Audubon's Birds of America. The collections comprise more than five million rare books, manuscripts, photographs, maps, prints, and ephemera, with extraordinary resources for the study of British and American history and literature, the history of science, and the history of printing. The Huntington Library: Treasures from Ten Centuries opens the doors of a scholar's paradise, exploring the value of these holdings in history and for the present.
