....A Continuation post.
22nd October 2016
During our Heritage walk, we had seen only the antique
manuscripts and books and palm leaves displayed at ground floor and not to the
first floor, where the variety of books kept for the reference.
ADYAR LIBRARY
In the display Bible in Hebrew language with gems on the four
corners, an Indian chess, Valmiki Ramayana, the oldest book, miniature Bibles,
Bhagavad Gita, Palm leaves manuscripts in Siamese, Mahabharata with Olcott’s
signature, Tibetan manuscripts presented by His holiness XIV Dalai Lama and so
on. We had spotted a 600 years old Quran also in the collection. It is a wonder
that how could print a bible so..so..so.. small which can be read only through
a magnifying glass!!!.
