Samenvatting | The adventures, twists, and turns of finding old books, manuscripts, maps, and related odd items... and moving them to the libraries, museums, and collections where they would be preserved and protected: That was Ettinghausen's international life and work for about 60 years, beginning just after 1900. Being multilingual and trained in classics and history, he helped to re/discover much that had been lost or hidden for generations, or even centuries. His sources and clients included royalty, the wealthy, the savants, and a few undefinables. I was especially interested in his involvement with the Huntingdon Library and the Codex Sinaiticus. |
