Special Collections: Rare Books Collection

Trexler Library’s Rare Books Collection is broad and serves as an excellent representative collection for teaching the history of books and printing. It includes cuneiform tablets and papyrus, several 15th-century manuscript leaves, four incunabula, a fine selection of 16th- & 17th-century Lutheran Bibles and texts, a wide-ranging selection of 19th-century British and American literature and travel narratives, modern first editions, and examples from the literary canon.
