JM-164: Will there be enough to go round?
Description: This cartoon depicts Uncle Sam trying to divide "U.S. Bread" among various nations. In 1915, World War I was being fought in Europe, but the United States was maintaining a neutral position. Despite its neutrality, the United States supplied resources and arms to nations during the war. All of the countries sitting at the table are nations who lobbied for resources from the United States during the war. England is attempting to block Germany's chance of receiving resources from Uncle Sam. This is representative the attempts of the British government to limit the United States aid to Allied Powers, most often England. The United States is also sitting at the table, looking worried about sharing the beard with other nations. The United States distributing more resources than it could afford was a fear for many Americans in the 1910s. (Summary created by Mary Delano, MU History Intern, Spring 2018)

Bible. Latin. O. T. II Chronicles. [leaf]
Description: "4to (26.3 x 18.3 cm, 10.375 x 7.25"). [1] f. Perhaps more important than European universities as a market for Bible production were the friars: the Dominicans and Franciscans. Thus Bologna, not possessing a faculty of theology like Paris, but having the second most important Dominican house, was also, next to Paris, the most prolific producer of Bibles. This leaf in many ways could have come from Paris, but the fact of prominent chapter divisions, arguing also for a date later than ca. 1225, and the fact that the top line of text is above the top line of ruling point to southern Europe. The text is II Chronicles 16:4-18:34, including the end of the reign of Asa, king of Judah, and part of the reign of Jehoshaphat. It is worthy of note that chapter XVIIII in this manuscript begins with 18:28 in the standard numbering.nnThis leaf is written in brown ink in a compact and rounder Gothic, in two columns of 48 lines, ruled in lead, with the prickings still present on the inside edge. The running headers are in red, as are the numbers heading each chapter; chapters also bear decorative initials: a green two-line R with red tracery for chapter XVII, a four-line red F with purple tracery for chapter XVIII (both on the recto), and (on the verso) a four-line red I with red tracery. In some places the text has been erased and corrected in black ink in a more angular hand. In the (two) left margins are three nota (?) marks consisting of a single stroke with two or three dots over it. nnProvenance: Ex-Zion Research Foundation (later known as the Endowment for Biblical Research); very likely to Zion from Ege.nnSome light soiling or staining in the margins. A closed cut, appr. 2.5 cm, 1" in length, from outside margin into text without loss.",Full pdf available, https://dl.mospace.umsystem.edu/mu/islandora/object/mu%3A439255/datastream/PDF/view
