New Acquisition:

Not everything we bring into Special Collections is a purchase or a gift; sometimes it’s a transfer. We transferred this book from the storage annex due to its heavy wooden board binding, and the high quality of the facsimiles inside. Come take a look, it’s available now!

  • Tibulli Carmina, Sapphus epistula Ovidiana; codex guelferbytanus 82.6 Aug. phototypice editus. Praefatus est Fridericus Leo.  Lugduni Batavorum, A. W. Sijthoff, 1910.  x-Collection FOLIO Z114 .T5
