PAPAL MANUSCRIPTS AT WIDENER

In connection with the recent Papal election, the University Library has placed on exhibition in the Treasure Room a letter from Dr. Achille Ratti, now Pope Plus XI, written when he was librarian of the Ambrosian Library, Milan. The letter is addressed to Professor Charles Rockwell Lanman, Ph.D., LL.D., Wales Professor of Sanskrit at the University, and editor of the Harvard Oriental Series, and is an acknowledgement of the receipt of a volume of the Oriental Series. There are also two post card receipts of other volumes.

In addition are shown two works published by Dr. Ratti at the same time. The first is one of four volumes of the Acts of the Church of Milan, edited by the present Pope, the other is his Notes on an early manuscript of the Satires of Juwenal.
