The fascinating story of how books four centuries old were made in Poland is told in an exhibition now on display at the Jewish Theological Seminary library, Broadway and 122nd Street.

The collection includes volumes printed in Cracow and Lublin between 1534 and 1691, and other cities of the Polish nation.

At the opening of the exhibit speakers included Dr. Mieczyslaw Marchlewski, Consul General of Poland; Dr. Cyrus Adler, president of the Seminary; Z. Tygel, executive director of the Federation of Polish Jews in America and Professor Alexander Marx, librarian.
