"Collecting the Confessions" presents 20 interesting editions of St. Augustine's Confessions from the last 400 years, recently donated to celebrate the establishment of the Center for Norbertine Studies at St. Norbert College, De Pere, Wisconsin. Included in the exhibition are three of the first four translations into English, a copy from the limited edition designed by Paul Woodroffe and Laurence Housman, and several other language editions, including translations into Catalan, Hebrew, and Russian.
A reception will be held to open the exhibition on October 9 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the Bush Art Center. The event is free and open to the public.
The exhibition is also part of St. Norbert College's celebration of its annual Heritage Days, about which more information is available here:

An annotated guide to the exhibition has been produced and is available upon request (to me).
