From Manuscript to Print: The Journey of Medieval Books

This fall, the McHugh Family Special Collections will unveil its earliest printed book—a circa 1470 editio princeps of De Dignitate Sacerdocii (Dialogue on the Dignity of the Priesthood) by St. Johannes Chrysostomus, as part of an exhibit of the Library's medieval collections. Donated by University benefactor Edward R. Leahy, '68. H'01, this rare incunabulum, printed by Ulrich Zell, links directly to the legacy of Gutenberg and is one of the fewer than 10 known copies worldwide.

Curated by Special Collections Librarian Professor Michael Knies, the exhibit runs September 8-December 12 in the Heritage Room. The program will trace the transition from handcrafted medieval manuscripts to the mechanical press, featuring the Library's complete manuscripts, manuscript leaves, and incunabula (early printed books) from before 1500.
