Inside the Beinecke

[Paul Ferguson]

"Hidden inside one of America’s most iconic academic libraries sits a collection that feels more like folklore than fact. At Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, thousands of rare texts rest behind a towering marble facade. Among them lies one of the most fascinating collections of early scientific imagination ever assembled: a major archive of medieval and Renaissance alchemical manuscripts."
