"Both a museum and a center for scholarly research, The Morgan Library is an extraordinary complex of buildings occupying half a block in the heart of New York City. Among the world's greatest treasuries of seminal artistic, literary, musical, and historical works, the Library's renowned collections of rare books, manuscripts, and drawings have as their principal focus the history, art, and literature of the Western world. The collections originated with the medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, rare books and bindings, literary and historical manuscripts, and master drawings and prints amassed by Pierpont Morgan (1837 - 1913), the great financier of turn-of-the-century America. He also acquired a selection of Islamic manuscripts as well as roughly 1,200 Mesopotamian cylinder seals. With the subsequent addition of autograph music manuscripts and innumerable acquisitions - recently including works representative of the twentieth century - the collections have grown many times over. But the focus on the written word, the history of the book, and master drawings has been maintained. Changing exhibitions, drawn from the Library's collections, private collections, and those from other museums and libraries here and abroad provide visitors access to some of the Western world's most significant cultural artifacts. This book provides an overview of the Library's collections, highlights among which are the ninth-century Lindau Gospels, a rare vellum copy of the Gutenberg Bible, The Hours of Catherine of Cleves, Albrecht Durer's Adam and Eve, drawings by Hilaire-Germain-Edgar Degas, Rembrandt Harmensz, van Rijn, and Peter Paul Rubens, and manuscripts of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Arnold Schoenberg, Charlotte Bronte, Henry David Thoreau, John Steinbeck, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln." - from the inner front jacket flap.
