Incunables, Indulgences, and Autographs (Posted on: 16-SEP-09)
The Penn Libraries recently made important discoveries of rare, previously uncataloged research materials within their collections. Working on a Hidden Collections project funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, catalogers at Penn's Rare Book and Manuscript Library have found two incunables (works printed prior to 1501) in the library of Henry Charles Lea, a noted 19th-century scholar of the Inquisition. In a separate project, two pamphlets, both written and signed by Martin Luther, have also been discovered in Penn's Rare Book and Manuscript collections.
