		If the edifice that houses The Asiatic Society of Bombay seemed like the Parthenon to writer Aldous Huxley, then one can only imagine what the man would have thought about the society's most prized possession, a 14th century manuscript of Dante Alighieri's Divina Comedia in original Italian.
		The manuscript bears the signature of its donor, the Hon'ble Mountstuart Elphinstone, who was Governor of Bombay and the President of the Society from 1819-1827.
		It is said that only two versions of the manuscript survive, one remains with the Asiatic Society.

	Natural Philosophy and Early Physics in the American Philosophical Society Library
		The manuscript collections of the American Philosophical Society Library, for one, cling to a small, but growing array of materials for those atavists who insist on the relevance of the past, documenting the development of physics from the late 17th through the early 19th centuries.
		Like Morton, Questebrune includes study of the earth and human body within the scope of “physics.” While the Questebrune manuscript was written in Kilkenny, Ireland, it has a distinctly American veneer: by 1784 it had been acquired by the well-known Philadelphia botanist, William Hamilton (d.1824), known as a flaming Loyalist during the American Revolution.
		The primary significance of this volume of notes may lie as much in documenting scientific education at Yale at a time when that university was at the forefront in introducing science into the college curriculum.

	About the Walpole Society
		The Walpole Society was formed in 1911, and was named after Horace Walpole (1717-1797), who published the first history of art in Britain, basing his work on the manuscript notebooks of George Vertue (1684-1756), which he had acquired.
		Material published in the volumes is remarkably diverse as can be seen from the complete list set out in the section of this website headed “Contents of Walpole Society Volumes from 1911 to date”.
		The Society's publications are indispensable to all those interested in British Art, but in order to continue its essential work, the Society needs a flourishing membership.

	The Theosophical Society and its Future–Manifesto 1996
		One example of the extent to which the members of the Theosophical Society, from senior members to the newest, were 'infected' by CWL is exemplified by Jinarajadasa's acceptance of the fact that CWL's Astral Plane manuscript had in fact been transmitted magically to the Masters.
		The Theosophical Society was founded at the instigation of the Masters with a sublime object in view: the salvation of the whole human race by a 'popularization' of their teachings.
		HPB was with the Theosophical Society in India for about two years during which time her phenomena and contacts with the Masters were amply demonstrated.

	Collections_policy
		The collections of the Cambridge Historical Society are currently comprised of approximately 50 separate manuscript collections that serve to document Cambridge history from the late 17th to the mid-20th centuries.
		For the Society to become a true repository of Cambridge history representative of the entire city, the current collections must be significantly broadened in size and in scope in order to more accurately represent the diverse communities that have historically contributed and continue to contribute to its development.
		The Society may permit publication or other educational or commercial uses at the discretion of the Executive Director, in accordance with the prevailing professional standards and so long as that use is deemed in the best interests of the Society and is not inconsistent with its educational mission.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia at Epinions.com
		One distinct advantage of the Leningrad Codex over the ben-Hayyim edition was that the poetic portions were shown in their traditional brickwork layout in the Leningrad manuscript but this was simply not possible in the layout of the Rabbinic Bible where poetry was printed the same way as prose.
		The Leningrad Codex is the oldest complete and dated Hebrew Bible manuscript, having been worked up in the year 1008 and according to an end note it was copied in Cairo directly from a master copy worked up by Aaron ben Asher, one of the most famous (and last) of the Massoretic copyists.
		The manuscript was acquired somewhere in the Middle East by the Karaite leader Abraham Firkovich, who sold it to the Imperial Library in what was then (and now) St. Petersburg circa 1862.
