Gifts to the Library 2013–14<br />
The Library welcomes gifts of books from all its members, past and present, which<br />
enhance its academic collections and add to the pleasure of its readers. This year it<br />
has received two notable and generous gifts.<br />
Professor Barbara Harriss-White, on her retirement, has given her collection of<br />
books on South Asian and Development Studies. This multi-disciplinary collection<br />
includes works on development economics, poverty, health and nutrition and food<br />
policy, gender, caste and rural development. It enhances our resources for students<br />
in the MPhil in Development Studies and the MSC in Contemporary India, as well<br />
as for readers in other subjects.<br />
Dr John Penney has given a seventeenth-century Pentateuch Bible, Biblia Sacra<br />
Vulgatae Editionis (Paris 1662), printed by Antoine Vitré. It contains many fullpage<br />
copper plate engravings which were originally conceived for a different book<br />
altogether, the first volume of Scheuchzer’s Physica Sacra. Our copy once belonged<br />
to another Fellow of Wolfson, the late Godfrey Lienhardt.<br />
Books have also been generously donated by those whose names follow, authors or<br />
contributors being identified by an asterisk.<br />
Thank you all.<br />
