Subject: Mormon hearings on scholars
Historians and historians of religion may be interested in reading the story
appearing in today's New York TIMES on hearings allegedly being held by
authorities of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints regarding the
views of several scholars, among them the historian D. Michael Quinn. Quinn
and other scholars face criticism, censure, and, reputedly, excommunication
for their views, including their published scholarship. Historians with
access to NEXIS may find additional stories by combining the keywords MICHAEL
QUINN and MORMON. --Jon Butler JBUTLER@YALEVM.YCC.YALE.EDU

I had the privilege in July of viewing a copy of Shakespeare's First Folio
(1609), along with a number of other contemporary book treasures, at the
Shakespeare Library in Stratford-on-Avon in England. We were told by the
librarian that when the Second Folio appeared in 1623, Cambridge University
Library discarded its copy of the First Folio. Fortunately, someone rescued
it and preserved it, but Cambridge had to pay a large sum in the last century
to get it back.
