Book of Kings, King of Books: Early Printed Bibles from the Carothers Collection

Enter the Online Exhibit

This exhibit is a selection of 27 treasures from the collection of early printed Bibles bequeathed to the library in 1982 by Milton Stover Carothers, Director of FSU's Presbyterian Center, in memory of his parents Julia Stover and Milton Washington Carothers.

Book of Kings, King of Books offers a new example of the multi-faceted collaborative effort between the Strozier Library and the History of Text Technologies (HoTT) program as its direct origin is the graduate seminar "The Bible as a Book (13th-18th c.)" that François Dupuigrenet Desroussilles, professor in the Religion Department and HoTT faculty, has been teaching every year in Special Collections since 2009.
