SUMMARY:Michelle Margolis on History and Highlights of the Collection of Jewish Books and Manuscripts at Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by The Caxton Club. \nHorace Walpole wrote a letter in which he coined the word serendipity. \nThe Royal and Ancient Gold Club of St Andrews got on course. \nA 22-year-old George Washington leads an ambush that triggers the French and Indian War. \nLouis XVI is born. \nWhat will become Columbia University is chartered in New York. \nThe year is 1754 and the Columbia library begins – right from the beginning – to collect rare Hebraica and Judaica materials. \nToday that collection has grown to include an amazing array of manuscripts\, incunabula\, sixteenth-century books\, and much\, much more. \nMichelle Margolis\, Lecturer in History and Norman E. Alexander Librarian for Jewish Studies\, will give us a rare glimpse of the collection’s treasures\, as she shares its story and illuminates its highlights. Her generously illustrated talk will reveal materials of great beauty\, historical importance\, and scholarship. \nAs the great ad campaign from the 1960s reminded us\, you don’t have to be Jewish to love Levy’s real Jewish Rye … or to enjoy seeing a remarkable collection of Jewish books and documents.
