The Adyar Library – THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY – A Heritage Walk

....A Continuation post.

 22^nd October 2016

During our Heritage walk, we saw only the antique manuscripts, books and palm leaves displayed on the ground floor, and not on the first floor, where the variety of books kept for the reference. 

ADYAR LIBRARY  

In the display were a Bible in Hebrew with gems on the four corners, an Indian chess set, Valmiki Ramayana, the oldest book, miniature Bibles, Bhagavad Gita, palm-leaf 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-year-old Quran also in the collection. It is a wonder how they could print a bible so..so..so.. small, which can be read only through a magnifying glass!!!.
