LIBRARY RECENE ANGENT TABLETS Collection Includes Cunei- form Writing of Sumerian Civilization of 2800 B.C. Several clay tables with the cuneiform Wwriting of the Sumerien civilization which had its great. cultural period nearly 2,800 vears b2fore the Christian ! era, together with rare Orfental manu- scripts and other Orientalia, have been Ppresented to the Library of Congress by Kirkor Minassian of New York One especially prized is a Cufic script on parchment from a manuscript of the Koran dating from about the eighth century. ‘The material in the gift was brought together by Mr. Minassian over a period of years while he was rummaging far- away corners for antiques during numerous visits to the Near East. Egypt and beyond, often to Persia, Afghanis- tan and India, and, on one occasion, to the borders of Tibet. Recently he came | to Washington and made his first visit | to the Library of Congress, where his first act was to go to the upper floor and | visit the shrine which contains the | originals of the Declaration of In-| dependence and Constitution of the | United States. Then he went back to | New York, packed a satchel with repre- sentative specimens from his collections, and returned to Washington to bring a gift, which, as he said in his letter of conveyance, was for “our Library of Congre: He was born in Constanti- nople, but long since transferred his al- legiance to the United States. | Work Is Artistic. | Tf the Cufic script is properly to be ascribed to the eighth century, it is very early, for it must then have been writ- ten within a century or so of the deathe of Mohammed. With it are other speci- mens of Cufic script. one of the eighth or ninth century, perhaps dating from the time of the celebrated Harun-al- Rashid, one of the ninth century and one of the eleventh century. There also are among the manu- ' seripts double sheets of parchment from a tenth century Koran, a parchment sheet with gold decorations from an eleventh century Koran in Maghribi character, folios from a thirteenth cen- tury Koran in Talut, written on white paper and decorated with roses and medallions of gold, and sheets from later manuscripts of the Koran, one in Persian and Arabic (thirteenth’ cen- | tury): two in Mastalig character, one Persian of the Boukhara school of the sixteenth century, written in double colums, with elaborately stenciled bor- | demfit an?h one‘t also P;‘mnn. of the| seventeenth century, with a decorative head line in gold. The artistic work exemplified by these | manuscripts is in each instance char- | acteristic of the period. A seventeenth century Arabic manuscript contains on opposite pages exquisitely colored views and, in it, the Kaba, or building shel- | tering the sacred stone Gabriel gave to Abraham, and toward which all Mo- hammedans face in their devotions. A | manuscript prayerbook of the seven- teenth century written in the Arabic of the Turkish school is carefully executed Wwith the text of each page inclosed with line of blue and gold. A Koran of a century later, written in the same lan- guage and school, is of the same careful execution, has an illuminated title-page, | decorations at the beginnings of the surahs, rosettes and medallions, both of gold, scattered through the text, and the :onlld.mll binding heavily embossed with Nine Clay Tablets in Gift. A number of other manuscripts in Mr. Minassian's donation also are worthy of mention, among them one in Geez of about the fifteenth century a sixteenth century Hebrew manuscript | scroll of the book of Esther written on parchment, two Greek music manu- with them, several specimens of early European bookbinding, and an Aesop of 1544 in its original binding. The clay tablets are nine in number. One is a cone, a typical specimen, the inscription on which has its modern analogue in the records deposited in the corner stone of a building. Two of the tablets are of the kind used for teaching boys and girls in the temple schools of Sumeria 4,000 years ago. A proverb of the day reads: “He who shall excel in tablet-writing shall shine like the sun.” The goal must have seemed a far ane_to the Sumerian child who had upward | of 400 different signs to learn before he could read and write.

Hawley sald that representa- tives of the Treasury, Commerce and Agriculture Departments, the Tariff Commission and other Government agencies would be called in to verify data, make examinations in the field and obtain any information the sub- committees may desire. Bacharach said he discussed the tariff only in a general way with Mr. Hoover and preferred not to say what took place at the conference. Expressing his own views, however, the New Jersey member declared in a statement that there should be some readjustment of rates to take care of agriculture, but on the whole he saw very few other instances where rate changes would be required.
