在图书馆第12级的特殊收藏中的最新门厅展示包括来自ChiteChilus Siegfried Bayer（1694-1738）的集合，并继续关注William Hunter（1718-1783）和他的图书馆在他出生的那一年中。
Theophilus (Gottlieb) Siegfried Bayer (1694-1738) was a Prussian classical scholar from Königsberg (now Kaliningrad, Russia), and a pioneer in the west in the study of Sinology. He was both Sinologist and professor of Greek and Roman Antiquities at St Petersburg Academy of Sciences between 1726 until 1737. Previously he was a Rector of the Königsberg Cathedral from 1721-1726, and a municipal librarian in Königsberg. Bayer amassed a large personal library of manuscripts and books and for several years kept up a fruitful exchange of correspondence with Jesuit missionaries based in Peking (now Beijing). He also published several works of his own.
Perhaps if he had lived longer Bayer’s work may have received greater recognition, but in 1738 he became very sick with a fever and died. After his death his library was sold by his widow to a Lutheran pastor living in London called Heinrich Walter Gerdes (1690-1741).
这大约有200中国人和o的集合ther oriental books and manuscripts was later purchased from Mrs Gerdes by Dr. William Hunter (1718-1783). Under the terms of Hunter’s will, his library and other collections remained in London for several years after his death for the use of his nephew, Dr Matthew Baillie (1761-1823), andfinally came to the University in 1807。
The three documents on display areMuseum Sinicum(Hunterian EE2.1-2）,Globus coelestis sinicus.Explicatus(MS Hunter 10.) and Hunter’sCatalogue of the Bayer Collection(MS Hunter H203）。

This Chinese star map is a copper plate engraving which shows the Northern (right) and Southern (left) stellar hemispheres. It was created by Ignatius Koegler, a Jesuit missionary in Peking. The title translates as “Table of the Ecliptic and of all the Stars”. The ecliptic (the apparent path of the sun across the sky) and stars are marked on the map. Bound in the same volume is Bayer’s manuscript in which he transliterates and translates into Latin the Chinese names for the hemispheres, planets and signs of the zodiac.
