[Posted on 10 August 2015, with updates.\u00a0 The updates include, with permission, images from the leaf also in Exekiel from the same manuscript in Ege’s Portfolio, now at the University of Pennsylvania, and shown in a post on Penn Libraries Manuscripts<\/a>, with photographs by Dot Porter.\u00a0 The photographs of the New Leaf are \u00a9 Mildred Budny.<\/em><\/p>\n

More recently, the announcement that (after earlier sales from that collection), the residue of manuscript materials in the possession of Otto F. Ege’s family has been purchased by the Beinecke Library<\/a> at Yale University encourages the anticipation of more revelations about surviving leaves from the dispersed manuscripts, perhaps also this one.<\/em><\/p>\n
