Bibles, ancient scripts available at Baker
A collection of ancient writings, including many early Bibles dating back hundreds of years, and a page from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, can be seen at Baker University Library in Baldwin.
John Forbes, director of libraries at the university, said recently that the Quayle Collection included the two first editions of the King James Bible and the William Shakespeare Bible which was the first book published from movable type $350 years ago.
The Book of the Dead, written on papyrus leaves, was an instruction manual buried with the dead to help them deal with Osisir, the Egyptian god
of the underworld, according to James Seaver, professor of ancient history at Columbia University.
Another of the early tablets is a biography of King Libit-Ishar, who ruled in what is now southern Iraq, roughly 4,000 years ago.
"Basically it just says what a great he is," Kay Brabill, public service officer, said.
FORBES SAID that in ancient times, people of wealth and royalty often could not read or write, and that they had to record data and keep the books for them.
"You can imagine what kind of
intrigue this could lead to," Forbes said. "You could write things that your boss doesn't understand or know. You could get away with a great deal."
Currently, the display at the library is devoted to the Bible in America before 1850. A copy of the first complete Old and New Testaments published in America is included, as well as a page of an early book printed in an Indian language in Massachusetts, Forbes said.
Forbes said that before the revolutionary war, Bibles had been obtained from the British and were not printed in the colonies.
"IT WASN'T until those sources were cut off to us by the Revolutionary War that we got around to having to print our own Bibles," he said. "This particular version was authorized by Congress in 1781."
The collection was donated by the estate of a former student and president of Baker, Bishop William Quayle, upon his death in 1925. Forbes said the collection had been added to over the years.
The Library is open between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and between 10 a.m. and Sunday through Thursday nights. He and tours may be arranged upon request.
Classifieds want greater voice in SenEx
By STEVE CUSICK Staff Reporter
Members of the Classified Senate at the University of Kansas want to increase their say in the University decision. Concerns a member of the Senate said Friday.
Jan O'Neill, president-elect of the Classified Senate, said the group wanted a vote on the nine-member board in respect of further University budget cuts.
“There are a lot of matters that come up in SenEx that affect the Classified Senate,” she said, but the Senate now non-voting member on the committee.
SenEx members discussed the possibility of allowing the Classified Senate a vote at their meeting Friday. Such a vote would require a revision of the SenEx code.
Questions were raised at the meeting about whether the committee would have to allow a seat for a representative of KU classified employees belonging to the AFL-CIO along with the vote for the Classified Senate. The Senate does not represent those employees, O'Neill said.
O'Neill said she would talk to Vicki Thomas, University general counsel, about the legal ramifications of getting a vote on the committee.
SHE ALSO will discuss the matter with Richard Mann, University director of institutional research and personnel services.
Mann said Friday that he thought most of the SenEx business did not deal
directly with concerns of the Classified Senate.
"I'm not sure I can see how classified employees can relate to academic issues," he said. "I'm not sure what role classified employees can play."
But Mann said he would have to study the situation further before judging whether it was possible to allow the students to take courses in six faculty and three student members.
IN 1978, SenEx rejected a move to give Classified Senate the vote.
