ACQUIRE RARE MANUSCRIPT
A facsimile of the New Testament portion of Codex Vaticanus, one of the most important ancient manuscripts of the Vatican Library, has been presented to the Duke University library as a gift from Pope Paul VI. The presentation of the copy of this fourth-century manuscript was made by Dr. Howard Wilkinson to university librarian Benjamin E. Powell in a special ceremony in the Rare Book Room, Perkins Library, on September 24, 1971, at which Dr. Kenneth Clark, professor emeritus, and Father Roland Murphy, professor of Old Testament of the Duke Divinity School, spoke about the significance of the manuscript.
