Bookplate Beauts: Samuel H. MillerWe are starting a new series on bookplates in our collections! We plan to show ownership bookplates used by Harvard Divinity School Library over the past 200 years, but also interesting bookplates from former owners. What better way to kick off the new series the week of Halloween with the personal bookplate of Samuel H. Miller (1900-1968), former HDS Dean and accomplished artist. (He created his bookplate himself using a linocut technique.) His motto here, Periissem nisi periissem, was also the motto of theologian Soren Kierkegaard, and could be translated as “I would have perished had I not perished.” -- source link
