  • A Fifteenth-Century Cofferet

  • The Spencer Collection of the New York Public Library recently acquired an interesting, late fifteenth-century leather-covered wooden box, probably designed to hold a manuscript or book, with a rare impression of a single woodcut representing The Almighty Enthroned which is pasted into its upper lid. The object is of significance as it leads to observations of the use of printed illustrative material during the first century of printing. It is also of sociological value for our knowledge of its use by the people of the time. Only about thirty such boxes, coffers, cofferets, or cassettes with pasted-in woodcuts are in the collections of London, Paris, Berlin, and Amsterdam, with but one box recorded in an American collection, that of the Print Room of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

  • Mediaeval and Renaissance Latin Translations and Commentaries

  • Since Professor Marti has been in Europe for the past year and expects to stay there for another year, Professor Bradner has agreed to join the Executive Committee, first as an acting member and later as a regular member. This Committee has held three meetings since October 1954.

    The place of Miss Sanford as a member of the Editorial Board and as Section Editor for Latin Commentaries of the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries has been filled by Professor Revilo P. Oliver of the University of Illinois.
