Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Duke University contains over one hundred manuscripts — in both roll and codex form — dating from the 9th to the 17th century. The collection as a whole is named in his honor and includes manuscripts collected and donated by Kenneth Clark as well as manuscripts acquired from other sources.
