Gruber Collection

The Gruber Collection is a collection of books and manuscripts housed at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago in Chicago, Illinois. The collection contain more than 300 books from the 15th to 18th centuries and 14 manuscripts of Greek New Testament (minuscules and lectionaries). Special value have works of Luther, copies of his letters, original letters written by Philipp Melanchthon, the Greek New Testament of Erasmus,[1] and other documents of Reformation era.[2] All manuscripts and majority of books were collected by L. Franklin Gruber (1870–1941), the former president of the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago in Maywood, Illinois.[2] He purchased them in Europe and brought to Chicago.[3]
