From monastery to microfilm in 14 centuries and still being
v studied- is the history of some of the documents examined by Dr.
Norman Huffman of Willamette university in Itaijr during, the past
nine months-': - - t- : ; i ;
- Dr. Hoffman and his wife, Ruth, receiyed two of the 20 fulbright
scholarships granted from the United States for research irirltaly last
, year. Huffman's work included the i 1 j n h -r
comparison of printed Creek texts

while Mrs. Huffman studied mod
ern Italian art.

During the course of bis re

which he will continue .to study
here.- He ? studied some of the
earliest fragments of the New Tes
tament and his findings will be
Incorporated with those of an in
ternational group of scholars into
the work "Evidences for the Greek!
Text i of the New Testament,
which will be published by the
. Oxford University Press which has
headquarters in Chicago.
At Vatican Library
While in Italy Dr. , Huffman
studied principally in Rome where
1 he had access to the Vatican li
brary which he calls "the best in
the world." He - also studied at
Milan and Venice.'.
Of particular interest to him
was one of the last remaining
Greek monasteries, the Grotto
rerrata, which Is situated about
10 miles from Rome.
This monastery represents the
point farthest west and north
reached by the' monks in their
flight from the Arabs in the ninth
century. -
. "Although this monastery has
now become a part of the Roman
church, says Dr. Huffman, "the
monks still cling to some of the
ancient traditions' and dress of
i -: ; s s t
places during the war and thus
escaped possible ' destruction. -
During ithe course? of his travels
Huffman ! visited also in France.
Germany! Belgium.! Holland and

Writing 1b Silver, Geld
.Among the many texts studied,
some of which had not been
studied previously, said Dr. Huff
man, were two of particular in
terest. One had been used by the
Bishop of Bulgaria' in the 11th
century and the other, studied at
Zurich, Switzerland, was "one of
the most! beautiful I have ever
seen." t -v '
This manuscript of the fifth cen
tury, containing the psalms and
elections from the' New Testa-
meat, was of purple vellum with
the writing in silver and gold.
According - to . Huffman, the
works he studied in Italy were
largely importations from Pales
tine, Greece, and Egypt notably
Cairo. They were collected during
the Renaissance period by the
great art-loving families such as
the Medicis and the Bourbons.
Research Available
The Fulbright scholarship on
which , Dr. , and Mrs. Huffman
studied provides for travel and
living expenses and those who ob
tain it are assisted in every way
by the government of the country
In which they study. Open to them
re many of the sources for re
search closed to other students.
The scholarship, named forj Its
Instigator, Senator Fulbright, is a
method used by foreign govern
ments to pay for surplus war ma
terials received by them - during
the war. Since they are unable to
pay in American dollars they open
their countries to selected scholars
and make available to them the
facilities for research and teaching.
Dr. Huffman reports that Italy
Is well on-4he road toward recov
ery after the devastation wrought
by the last war. The many price
