This exhibition traces the growth of Harvard’s medieval manuscript collections from the late 18th to early 20th century. Shaped by donors and faculty, these early acquisitions reveal the influence of travel, the antiquarian book trade, medievalism, and academic specialization on the collection’s development, highlighting how these materials reflect both the societies that created them and 19th-century intellectual and artistic currents.
