This Reed Gallery Exhibition at Dunedin City Library showcases a range of items from A H Reed’s stylistically and chronologically diverse collection. The term 'gathering' refers to a folded section of vellum or paper leaves which could be bound together with other gatherings to form a book.
Dunedin City Library holds one of the largest collections of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts in New Zealand. The majority of these manuscripts were purchased by Alfred Hamish Reed (1875–1975. Reed donated his collection to the Dunedin Public Library in 1948 and continued to buy manuscripts and advised successive City Librarians in developing the collection throughout the 1950s and 1960s. After his death, the Library honoured Reed’s wishes as outlined in his Deed of Gift (updated October 1950) by continuing to develop through his bequest what is known as the Alfred and Isabel Reed Collection.
The Collection today numbers twelve bound manuscripts and more than sixty leaves and fragments, chiefly from Western Europe, and ranging in date from the tenth to the sixteenth century.
