Non-Circulating Collection
Marquand is a non-circulating library, which means
that no books or journals may leave the library,
but may be charged to assigned shelves for eligible patrons inside the West Atrium in Firestone Library, C Floor. Otherwise, books will be held for patrons after requested and delivered to the Scribner Library Atrium in Firestone Library, C Floor. This includes Marquand's collection (formerly in McCormick Hall and temporarily stored in Upstate NY) and items located off of Route 1 at the ReCAP facility indicated with "ReCAP - Marquand Library Use Only."

Jewish Texts on the Visual Arts by ISBN: 0521652170Publication Date: 2000-02-13Jewish texts are a hidden treasure of information on Jewish art and artists, the patronage and use of art, and the art created by non-Jews. Most of these texts are written in Hebrew and Aramaic. Those scholars able to read them often do not understand their art-historical importance, while many art historians who would understand the references to art are hindered by language barriers. Jewish Texts on the Visual Arts includes fifty translated texts dating from the bibilical period to the twentieth century.
