...best collection of its kind, it has been shown outside Antwerp only twice-in Belgrade and Paris' Bibliotheque Nationale. Last week a generous portion of the collection was on view at Dartmouth College in the hills of Hanover, N.H. Some rare and old items: a Spanish manuscript of a medical treatise by Andreas Vesalius and Juan Valverda, ten title pages designed by Peter Paul Rubens, and such fastidious examples of the illustrator's art as the drawing of the Adoration of the Shepherds by Martin...
...semiannual volume of studies called the Analecta Bollandiana, a dry, multilingual collection of research on the lives of the saints. The latest Analecta, for example, contains one article on the Bollandists' current favorite topic.

From her vantage point near Herod's Palace, Claudia describes Christ's passion in gory detail: "Jesus, bound to a pillar, and standing in a red pool of his own blood." After the Crucifixion, Pilate loses favor with Rome, and ends...
...Georges Wildenstein was 14 years old, his father. Nathan, gave him two small works of art that were to become more precious to him than all the masterpieces that he later bought and sold. The gifts were illuminated miniatures that had originally been pages in a late 15th century manuscript, and they were the start of what is today the world's biggest and best private collection. Last week 70 items from that collection were on public display at the Cloisters, the way-uptown adjunct of Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Some are less than...
