NEWS FROM HOPE COLLEGE, OCTOBER 1992 NINETEEN Rare books yield rare chance for unique learning

by Mike Theune ’92

T ooking for an early edition of Maine Woods by M J American philosopher/naturalistHenry David Thoreau? Searching for that Dutch commentaryon President Me Kinley to round out your nearly-complete knowledge of American history? Maybe your need for the right book is even more demanding.You might, after all. need to peruse that 1765 edition of Samuel Johnson's dictionary or perhaps you will read only the autographed copy of The Memoirs of Richard Nixon. If your demand of books is great, if you need the information stored in books like those listed above, if you desire informationabout the arcane, the obscure, the antiquated, or if you simply love the musty smell of an old book, then Hope College’s rare book collection might be just the thing to suit your interests. The more than 1,000 volumes possessedby Hope which are deemed “rare” are located in the rare book room in the ground level of the Van Wylen Library, where they are either kept in storage or have found a secure home in the climate-controlled shelves which encircle the reading room shared by the Joint Archives of Holland. Hope's collection includes books which date back to the decades closely followingthe birth of printing in the West, such as a 1503 work on Archimedes. One book, a volume on Ptolemy publishedin 1493, has the distinctionof being termed an incunabula,a work publishedpre-1500, during the first 50 years of Western printing.
