THE OLDEST BOOKS IN NEW ZEALAND
Sir,---May I be permitted to use your columns to seek assistance in an investigation I am making? With the help of the New Zealand Council for Educational Research, I am hunting up the oldest books in New Zealand. My chief concern is with books actually made by hand before 1500 A.D. I have already been in touch with a number of libraries and private institutions, and some private owners. If there are any of your readers who know of the existence in New Zealand of any such manuscript books, besides those in the biggest libraries, would they be so kind as to inform me of them? As regards printed books, only those printed before 1480 A.D, come within the scope of mv nroject. Say
