The Collection of German Literature, one of the oldest special collections at Yale, contains first editions and other rare literary texts in German from approximately 1600 to 1850, with scattered holdings of earlier authors and a few specialized gatherings of twentieth-century material.

He began to form his library while he was a book dealer, and his collecting gained impetus during the preparation of the auction catalog for the Victor Manheimer collection in 1927, a project on which he collaborated with Karl Wolfskehl.
