	Voynich manuscript - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Since the manuscript's alphabet does not resemble any known script, and the text is still undeciphered, the only useful evidence as to the book's age and origin are the illustrations—especially the dress and hairstyles of the human figures, and a couple of castles that are seen in the diagrams.
		Beckx's "private" library was moved to the Villa Mondragone, Frascati, a large country palace near Rome that had been bought by the Society of Jesus in 1866 and housed the headquarters of the Jesuits' Collegio Ghisleri.
		The overall impression given by the surviving leaves of the manuscript suggests that it was meant to serve as a pharmacopoeia or to address topics in medieval or early modern medicine.

	Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The library also contains an exhibition hall that, among other things, displays two of the 40 existent copies of the Gutenberg Bible, study areas, reading rooms, the catalogue room, microfilm room, offices, and the book storage areas.
		These were moved to the Rare Book Room collection of Sterling Memorial Library when it opened in 1930.
		When the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library opened its doors on October 14, 1963, it had become the home of the volumes from the Sterling Memorial Library Rare Book Room, and three special collections—the Collection of American Literature, the Collection of Western Americana, and the Collection of German Literature.

	Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library: Recent Acquisitions 1998
		The manuscript is written in a pre-Caroline script of the type used in the German and Swiss monasteries that were founded by Anglo-Saxon missionaries, and the writing preserves distinct traces of the Anglo-Saxon script, decoration, and manufacturing techniques brought from England to the continent by the missionaries.
		The manuscript portions of the volume comprise 40 motets, of which 24 are in Czech and 16 in Latin.
		The manuscript was heavily read and annotated, and appears to have traveled widely: though produced in the Ukraine, it was later in Russia, and then in Poland by the 18th century.

		Rare maps frequently are contained in old books or folios, making it easy for thieves to remove them without the library noticing they are missing.
		The British Library in London recently discovered that two world maps from the 1500s and a map of New England from 1624 were missing.
		Frank Turner, director of the Beinecke Library, said curators and librarians are constantly working to protect their archives without burdening scholars who need access to the materials.

		Nicole Bouché is head of the Manuscript Unit at The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University, where she oversees processing, cataloging, and conservation of the library's manuscript and archival collections and serves as a member of the library's digital library implementation working group.
		For the remaining two-thirds of the manuscripts, comprising Boswell's original travel diary, scanning was judged to be largely successful: limitations in the utility of the digital images were traceable directly to the highly deteriorated condition of the originals and not to the scanning process or to technical choices made in planning the project.
		Beinecke is a participant in the APIS project, a multi-institutional cataloging, preservation, and digitization project for papyrus, the goal of which is to provide bibliographic and Web-based image access to key papyrus collections nationally and internationally.

		It resides at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library of Yale University.
		Prior to the development of the printing press, manuscripts were generally written in either carbon-based inks or iron gallotannate inks.
		"Knowing that such yellowing is a common feature of medieval manuscripts, a clever forger may seek to simulate this degradation by the inclusion of a yellow line in his rendering of the map," the researchers suggested.

		The exhibition contrasts that early theological library, which was well suited to the purposes of the University's founders, with a selection of the diverse authors, subjects, eras, formats, genres and languages now collected by the Beinecke Library to support the research and curricula of its time.
		The books that found their way into the earliest Yale library were, for the most part, printed in Switzerland, Germany and Holland in the 16th and 17th centuries.
		Among the items in the exhibition are an illuminated manuscript, representing the Beinecke's large collection of medieval and Renaissance codices, and several incunables, books printed in the West between the appearance of the Gutenberg Bible in 1455 and the beginning of the 16th century.
