"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.".
"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."--BOOK JACKET.
