Featured Program
Rare Books Brought to Life at Bellarmine University
In Spring 2007, Bellarmine University hosted an exhibit titled “Faith, Freedom and Governance” that featured rare documents and books from the collection owned by The Remnant Trust, Inc. The exhibit, kept on display in the W.L. Lyons Brown Library during March and April of that year, included 53 historic documents from around the world, and highlighted liberal arts studies spanning theology, philosophy, politics and society. The exhibit gave students and the community an opportunity to take a hands-on view of texts that had a significant impact on the development of American society and culture.
The rare editions included works by the University’s namesake, St. Robert Bellarmine, along with Frederick Douglass’s My Bondage My Freedom (1855), Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations (1776), The Declaration of Independence (1776, Third Printing), The Emancipation Proclamation (1862, First Printing in the New York Times), and Karl Marx’s Capital: A Critical Analysis of Capitalist Production (1889, First American Edition).
A lecture series arranged by the Ethics and Social Justice Center at Bellarmine University accompanied the text exhibit. Presentations at Bellarmine included Christian Washburn speaking on the works of Robert Bellarmine and Aaron Hoffman on “What Augustine Can Teach Us About Politics Today.” Following the exhibit, Dr. Barry Padgett, Assoc. Prof. of Philosophy at Bellarmine, was invited to edit a special edition of the Remnant Review, a journal of commentary and criticism about the Remnant Trust collection.
Bellarmine was the first Kentucky college or university to host the Remnant Trust exhibit. The Remnant Trust is a public educational foundation that shares an actively growing collection of original and first edition works dealing with the topics of liberty and dignity with some pieces dating as early as 1250. The Trust makes this collection available to colleges, universities, and other organizations for use by students, faculty, scholars and the general public. The public is encouraged to touch, feel and read the originals.
