KU exhibits collection of Old English
by Thom Clark Korean staff writer
A University exhibit of the world's largest collection of 18th- to 18th-century Anglo-Saxon type books. The book will be presented at Research Library through May 31.
Kansan staff writer
Richard Clement, assistant special collections librarian, said the historic information in the collection was important.
"On their own, these books are very valuable." Clement said. "However, by bringing these books together, they tell a story and explain how England perceived itself and it changed over a period of time."
Clement said the chronological collection of books explained how England achieved its identity as a nation and a people.
The collection was initiated by Merrel Clubb, a former KU English professor, who purchased the first book. Since 1960, the University has established an archibody-24th-century books bearing the Anglo-Saxon typeface.
Alexandra Mason, Spencer librarian, said the collection demonstrated the beginning of history and literary scholarship in England.
At the Spencer Research Library, we are attempting to supply the tools for scholarship in the humanities. Mason said, "Other collections are of equal interest and are of consider- able interest and are worthy of support also."
Clement said the collection, named in honor of Clubb's son, boasted several impressive works. He said a thesaurus written in 1705 investigated the northern languages of Europe. Clement said the work was a monument to Anglo-Saxon studies before the 19th century.
Another book in the collection, written in 1715 by Elizabeth Elstob, is the first written in Old English grammar instead of in Latin. Clement said he was a very poor man to work when investigating the Anglo-Saxon language and history.
Clement said two Anglo-Saxon manuscripts from the 11th century were on display also. He said they were found by accident in the binding of a book purchased for $12 in Cambridge, England.
"Our university is one of six institutions in North America that have thirteen-century history. We know what the actual written alphabet looked like."
