Gatch, Milton (editor) SO PRECIOUS A FOUNDATION: THE LIBRARY OF LEANDER VAN ESS AT THE BURKE LIBRARY OF UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK.
New York The Grolier Club 1996 8 x 11 inches paperback 386 pages
The Library of Leander van Ess arrived in New York in 1838 and has since then reposed within the library of Union Theological Seminary. The collection was one of the most comprehensive theological libraries in the new world. An important step in nineteenth-century cultural and education history, it created the largest collection of incunabula west of the Atlantic Ocean at the time. Because of this, an exhibition was necessary, and one was held from September 17 to November 23, 1996.

Research for the exhibition revealed there were many books in the collection that reflected on the history of books and libraries in Germany. It also demonstrated that the collector, Leander van Ess, was an important figure for biblical translation as was as for collecting and scholarship. This catalogue explores van Ess's collection of Bibles in a number of languages, works on church history, ecclesiastical law, and medieval manuscripts.

The book is illustrated in black and white with four color illustrations and one colored fold-out plate. It contains contributions by Johannes Altenberend, Milton McC. Gatch and Paul Needham, and includes a brief biography of van Ess with introductory notes to the collection. It is written in both English and German.

Gatch, Milton McC. THE LIBRARY OF LEANDER VAN ESS AND THE EARLIEST AMERICAN COLLECTIONS OF REFORMATION PAMPHLETS.
BSA Occastional Publications, No.1 New York The Bibliographical Society of America 2007 8.5 x 11 inches paperback 212 pages
Reformation pamphlets (or "Flugschriften") were among the first rare book acquisitions of American libraries. Gatch traces the remarkable history of the Leander van Ess collection purchased by the Union Theological Seminary in 1838, the first and largest collection of these religious tracts to arrive in America. He notes how they were originally obtained by van Ess, a Catholic priest, translator of the Bible, and a former Benedictine monk, who built an impressive personal collection of books and manuscripts when monastic libraries were being dispersed during the Napoleonic wars. Gatch has also identified a significant group of pamphlets assembled at Wittenberg during the 1520s, Luther's most creative period. Never before accurately described, the surviving pamphlets from this collection are listed here in the order of van Ess's own catalogue, with a set of indexes to authors and printers, and with concordances to major bibliographical resources. Gatch reviews the history Reformation pamphlet collecting in the United States from these earliest efforts up to the beginning of the twentieth century, and reflects on how these primary resources were used (or neglected) by American church historians. An extensive bibliography and a detailed index of the introductory essays are included. Illustrated. Distributed for the Bibliographical Society of America.

Gatch, Milton McC. THE YEATS FAMILY AND THE BOOK, CA. 1900.
New York The Grolier Club 2000 6 x 8.5 inches hardcover 82 pages
This catalogue is drawn from the collection of the late Professor Marion W. Witt of Hunter College, a poetry student of William Butler Yeats. The collection was eventually given to Milton McC. Gatch, who was directed to find the collection a home or continue to enlarge the collection himself. Wanting to further build the collection, Gatch began widening its original scope to also include works of William's father John Butler Yeats and William's siblings, including Susan Mary, Elizabeth Corbet, and Jack B. Yeats. This catalogue features the books of Gatch's collection.

The Yeats family is well known in the world of book history. Son William Butler Yeats was a determined poet who became popular in literature at an early age. Daughter Elizabeth Corbet Yeats, known as Lolly, assisted in creating a series of printed works that defined the Irish culture in books and illustrations for the twentieth century, while brother Jack became a successful illustrator and painter. As strong as they were individually, the family was even more effective when they worked as a unit to produce books. The Yeats style really took off in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Their influence on the history of the book and Irish art has contributed to the Irish national character.

This exhibition covers the Yeats family from 1890 to 1910. It examines their work in printed portraits, book illustration, children's books, and other book-related areas. A section of fourteen plates completes the work. This exhibition was held from January 26 to March 13, 2000.
