About the Book The Middle Ages, or medieval period, is an era of European history that began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century, and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery in the 15th century. The medieval period is the middle period of the three traditional divisions in Western history, which are: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period.

Rush Christopher Hawkins was born on September 14, 1831, in Pomfret, Vermont, United States, the son of Lorenzo Dow and Maria Louisa (Hutchinson) Hawkins.
Rush received no formal education but was trained by members of his family. While under age he served in the Mexican War. In 1851 he took up the study of law in New York City.
Rush Hawkins served in the Civil War from May 1861 until May 1863, heading the “Hawkins Zouaves, ” the 9th New York Volunteers which he organized and commanded. He saw active service at Hatteras Inlet, Roanoke Island, Winton, South Mills, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and Suffolk, and in 1865 was raised by brevet to the rank of brigadier-general. In 1872 Hawkins served in the New York legislature.
He began early to collect and in 1855 purchased his first fifteenth-century book. In 1878 he met Henry Bradshaw, librarian of Cambridge University, when the latter was formulating his epoch-making method of studying incunabula. From that moment until his death, Hawkins zealously collected specimens of early printing. In 1884 his list of Titles of the First Books from the Earliest Presses introduced into America the system originated by Bradshaw and subsequently developed by Robert Proctor, which was destined to become the basis for modern research in this field. His activities as a collector were highly specialized, but in a representative sense he acquired a remarkably complete collection.
Hawkins and his wife had intended to erect a memorial to Gutenberg, in which to house the more than five hundred specimens of incunabula and the paintings which they had collected. Mrs. Hawkins died before this had been accomplished. In her name, and in recognition of the benefactions of the Brown family, the Memorial with its treasures was placed in Providence in 1907. Hawkins’ death, thirteen years later, came as the result of his having been knocked down by an automobile in New York.
