Above, decorative frontispiece of a manuscript antiphonary from the Carmelite convent (friary) of San Martino in Bologna, Italy, dating
from the mid-to-late 18th century, bears traditional Carmelite symbols and the name of the Carmelite scribe who produced it.
Below, large choir books such as the San Martino antiphonary were still being made by hand in the 18th century because printing books of this size was difficult; the first edition of Father Geronimo Nadal’s Evangelicae Historias Imagines was published in 1593; shown is the title page of the second edition, published in 1596.
In addition: One of the most important donations of books to the Corrigan Memorial Library came from a Baptist minister, E.L. Magoon, whose fascination with Catholic literature and art led him to accumulate more than 400 titles that he subsequently gave to New York archbishop Cardinal John McCloskey. Magoon also involved himself in the publication of a lavishly illustrated, limited print-run French edition of The Imitation of Christ, shown; as Magoon himself relates in an 1885 letter, there were just 334 subscribers to this Imitation of Christ, with only one copy destined for America, his own, which he promised to donate to Cardinal McCloskey. That copy was not subsequently passed on to St. Joseph’s Seminary, but, providentially, decades later, a copy of this book issued to a European subscriber found its way into the Corrigan collection that Magoon had helped to start.
