While in Richmond reclntly I sa\K on exhibit three of the oldest books in t hr state library, one of which is nearly, six hundred years old. It is a theological work and was copied in parts 'by hand in 1360, over a century before successful printing 'vas achiev ed. . ?' On the fly leaf of the book, which is of parchment, beautifully bound and well preserved, is the explanatory note: "This Ms. was Wrote about A. I), l :;i?0 and contains several Pieces of .!n Gorsah Chancellor of Paris." The writer was. a theologian, the book being a collection of his religious treatises.. The second book in point of age now. placed on exhibit is. also a manuscript volume, copied in 1484, and is from the works of Saint Boniventure, a French monk, patron saint of Lyons, who lived from 1221 to 1274, whose bones disappeared from their tomb at Paris during the French Revolution, being never located afterward. This book is of unusual interest as an ex ample of mediaeval binding of the type common in monasteries of - that a*;*. The covers are of wood encased in stamped leathers and , sewn with leather, which is fastened down 'with wooden pegs. The title is written on paper and tacked on the bindings un der transparent pieces of horn. Tlje third book is a voluminous ac count of the world from the time of creation, following the Biblical ac count, but including Greek legendary history and coming down to the time of the Roman emperors. It is re markable for its 2,200 spirited en gravings done by Michel Wohlgemut, a well-known German engraver of the &ge. The book was printed in Nu remberg, ih 1493. The literal con ception of Biblical narrative as inter preted by people of the middl*. ages is startlingly shown in this volume, pro duced the year afjter America was discovered. ?
