Within our next installment of material from the library of the General Theological Seminary, you'll find several incunables, including an early Fontibus ex Graecis Bible and a 1480 Latin Bible belonging to Cornelius Paine.
We are delighted to offer a sneak peek of items we will display at the upcoming Empire State Rare Book Fair starting this Thursday, September 17th at the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church.
This week's catalogue offers a wide-ranging survey of African American history and culture, anchored by several extraordinary highlights: a letter from a free Black community in Canada comprised largely of fugitive slaves, and a scarce edition of the first African American anti-slavery songster, as seen here.
We are delighted to present this week's wide ranging list of new acquisitions. Highlights include a freshly catalogued cache of material from the General Theological Library; a first American edition of The Hobbit, in its iconic dust jacket; and the first History of Virginia printed in Virginia.
