Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Thousand Years of the Bible: An Exhibition of Manuscripts From the J. Paul Getty Museum, Malibu and Printed Books From the Department of Special Collections, University Research Library, Ucla In the years since Henry Huntington acquired his Gutenberg Bible, southern California has become a center for studying the arts of the book. Each of the region´s libraries, universities, and museums can boast individual treasures, but when these resources are taken together, the results are remarkable. The extent to which the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum and UCLA´s research libraries complement each other can be judged in A Thousand Years of the Bible. The manuscripts at the Museum offer insights into the variety of forms the Bible took during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and the magnificence of the decoration it inspired. Printed editions from the Department of Special Collections at the UCLA Research Library continue this story, where volumes from more than a dozen countries, and in twenty different languages, reveal the impact of the printing press as much as they reflect the ecumenical character of religion. But as is often the case, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This joint exhibition allows us to consider the Museum´s biblical manuscripts and UCLA´s printed books together. Not only can we appreciate each volume as an individual achievement, we can - thanks to this collaboration - consider one of the most significant traditions in western culture as a whole.
