Valuable Old Books to
Enrich World as Result
of Constantinople's Fall

London. Correspondence of The
Associated Press. - Antiquarians
and historians are now to have for
the first time since the Turks took
possession of Constantinople, the op-
portunity for making a thorough in
vestigation of the literary treasures
stored away in the great libraries
there.
The contents of the bookshelves of
the st. Sophia and Palace libraries
are known, but in the cellars under
the Palace library there are many
manuscripts in Arabic, Greek, Latin
and Eastern languages. These man
uscripts are in hopeless confusion
and no person with special aptitude
for research work has been permit
ted to examine them in recent years.
About thirty years ago German
dragoman obtained permission from
! the Sultan to spend week in those
cellars. In that time he was able to
make only a superficial examination
| of the manuscripts, but his research,
short as it was, revealed many books
! in Greek and Arabic of great value.
/ Among the discoveries he reported
were the lost books OF Livy, the
great Roman historian.
| Among celebrated British scholars
who are planning to go to Constan-
| tinople to delve among the long-hid-
den manuscripts is Sir Edwin Pears.
the historian, who has spent many
years in Constantinople. Sir Edwin
told The Associated Press correspon-
dent that at least six months would
| be required for the investigation,
He does not think the Libraries have
been damaged by the Turks, who, he
says, are utterly Indifferent to their
value. His only fear is that the
manuscripts will be found in a sad
state as a result of neglect.
