Hidden Gems

Welcome to Hidden Gems, a series of short articles which highlight items in the Beinecke Library’s collection of rare books and manuscripts and which showcase current, hands-on research being undertaken by graduate students, faculty and other scholars. It is our goal to include items from all areas of the Beinecke’s extensive collections and from diverse linguistic traditions.
