One book in several archives
Material for Famous Impostors survives in Dublin and Philadelphia. Trinity College Dublin describes an incomplete manuscript and a separately catalogued Wandering Jew chapter formerly part of it. The Rosenbach holds a Mesmer manuscript connected with the same book. Bringing these records together helps readers find surviving portions under different titles. Trinity documents a former-part relationship between its two records; the Rosenbach manuscript is related to the same work, but has not been shown to have formed part of Trinity’s volume.
