Founded in 2016, the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 Library카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Schulich-Woolf Rare Book Collection is quickly gaining a reputation as one of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s best collections of early modern print.

Co-founder, philanthropist and entrepreneur Seymour Schulich, recently added to that reputation through a gift of three books, including one printed in 1477 that is now the second-oldest in the collection.

That book, Historia Rerum Ubique Gestarum by Pope Pius II, is believed to be the only specimen of that edition in Canada. Also gifted are Ludovico di Varthema카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Die Ritterliche Unnd Lobwirdige Reiss (1556), and Thomas Moulton카지노 게임 컬렉션�s The Myrrour or Glasse of Helth (1561).

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Through these gifts, Mr. Schulich strengthens the library카지노 게임 컬렉션�s goals to promote and preserve distinct collections of information resources that enable high impact research and scholarship,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Michael Vandenburg, Interim Vice-Provost and 카지노게임사이트 Librarian. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The three new texts will be displayed prominently in the library where they will enhance the student learning experience and stimulate faculty teaching and research. Scholars from around the world will be drawn to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s by the excellence of its research collections.카지노 게임 컬렉션� 

Fellow collection co-founder, Principal Emeritus Daniel Woolf, explains that the new arrivals are good examples of Renaissance-era printing, covering different genres: history, medicine, and travel. Die Ritterliche Unnd Lobwirdige Reiss and The Myrrour or Glasse of Helth illustrate small and medium format printing in 카지노 게임 컬렉션�black letter카지노 게임 컬렉션� text, often referred to as Gothic, he says. Historia Rerum Ubique Gestarum is of particular interest as it was printed during the first 50 years of moveable type and is an 카지노 게임 컬렉션�incunabulum,카지노 게임 컬렉션� the term for the very, very rare books published between 1450 and 1500.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The book exemplifies the superior letter casting and printing of Italian printing houses of the day,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Dr. Woolf says of Historia. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The book is important for its content, too, as one of the earliest specimens of Italian humanist historical writing which differed considerably from the late medieval chronicles it supplanted.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
Schulich and Dr. Woolf partnered to donate their personal collections of rare books to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s. In recognition of their generosity and vision, the university established the Schulich-Woolf Rare Book Collection, which resides at the W. D. Jordan Rare Books and Special Collections in Douglas Library, and combines more than 400 volumes. Schulich also made an additional gift of approximately $2 million to help build and preserve the collection and make it accessible to students and researchers, both at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s and beyond.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Mr. Schulich has been a very generous benefactor of the library, the Schulich Foundation having either purchased books such as this directly or provided the funds to acquire them, as for instance with last year카지노 게임 컬렉션�s purchase of the Nuremberg Chronicle and the earlier acquisition of a Caxton publication, both also incunabula,카지노 게임 컬렉션� Dr. Woolf says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�With the addition of Mr. Schulich카지노 게임 컬렉션�s own personal collection of books, plus many of my own, the library is building up one of the best collections of early modern print, especially printed editions of Renaissance-era history and travel literature, in the country. I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m personally thrilled that with his and the foundation카지노 게임 컬렉션�s help, the collection continues to grow.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

An industry leader whose career has spanned the financial services and mining sectors, Seymour Schulich has distinguished himself as a philanthropist over the last two decades, donating more than $350 million to universities and hospitals throughout Canada, the U.S., and Israel.

In 2011, he launched the Schulich Leader Scholarships, now a $200-million program that provides full scholarships to promising high school graduates with a passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Since the program카지노 게임 컬렉션�s inception, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s has been a top-five destination for Schulich Leaders.
