在MSU捐赠书箱中找到的1672本罕见的神学书现在保存在大学的特别收藏品中。 A rare 1672 theology book found in a MSU donation bin is now preserved in the university’s Special Collections.

8月下旬,在密歇根州立大学盈余商店的捐赠书箱中发现了一本罕见的1672年拉丁神学书《奥地利耶稣会Paul Laymann的Theologia Moralis》。 A rare 1672 Latin theology book, Theologia Moralis by Austrian Jesuit Paul Laymann, was found in a donation bin at Michigan State University’s Surplus Store in late August. 这本纸上用猪皮包裹的手工印刷的文本,很可能来自私人收藏,而不是大学图书馆的一部分,据信是保存完好的少数副本之一. The pigskin-bound, hand-pressed text, likely from a private collection and never part of the university’s library, is believed to be one of the few surviving copies in excellent condition. 工作人员指出这是他们处理的最古老的书籍之一。 Staff identified it as one of the oldest books they’ve handled. MSU没有出售,而是在特别收藏中保存了这本书。 Rather than selling it, MSU preserved the book in its Special Collections. 剩余商店此前还回收了其他稀有物品，包括达尔文作品的第一版和查理和巧克力工厂。 The Surplus Store has previously recovered other rare items, including first editions of Darwin’s works and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
