Bridwell Library at Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist
University announces an exhibition of some of the earliest and most
important publications printed in Greek.
The influence of Greek language and literature on modern culture is as
profound as it is underappreciated. The widespread use of Latin throughout
much of European history tends to obscure the Greek origins of seminal
literature, but much of the scripture, history, and mythology with which
people are familiar today originated in Greek texts.
Many landmark Greek publications from the early decades of printing today
reside in North Texas, including the first printings in Greek of the New
Testament, Homer, and Aristotle. This exhibition offers a glimpse into the
richness and significance of materials accessible for study and
appreciation at Bridwell Library Special Collections.
The exhibition is on display from December 14, 2018–May 20, 2019, and will
be located in the Entry Hall at Bridwell Library. The digital version of
the exhibition can be found at:
https://www.smu.edu/Bridwell/SpecialCollectionsandArchives/Exhibitions/Greek
For more information, contact Rare Books and Manuscripts Librarian, R.
Arvid Nelsen, 214-768-3440.
