EXHIBITION OF MILTON FIRST EDITIONS IN TREASURE ROOM
Rare Copies of "Paradise Lost" and "Lycidas" Included
An exhibition of first editions of John Milton's works opened Saturday in the Treasure Room of Widener Library, and will continue for about three weeks. The exhibition is made up of books already owned by the library, and includes not only first editions, but also the original illustrations of his books.
The most important of the first editions are "Paradise Lost," published in 1637, "Lycidas," in 1638, and a copy of "Comus," belonging to the owner of Ludlow castle, where the masque was first performed. There is also a copy of "Pindar," owned by John Milton and bearing notes written by him in the margins.
One of the most valuable books in the collection is an autograph album which was owned by Camillo Cerdogm, a Neapolitan Nobleman who succeeded in getting Milton's signature.
