This collection is considered one of the largest ones in the world, dealing with manuscripts related to the Coptic Church and there is room as well as need to grow even further. The collection includes material written on papyrus, parchment, and paper. They were collected from such places as the Vatican Apostolic Library, National Library of Paris, the British Library, Cairo Coptic Museum, New York Pierpont Morgan Libarary, Oxford Bodleian Library, Manchester John Rylands Library, Birmingham Selly Oak College Library, Napels National Library, Cambridge University Library, Vienna National Library, and Michigan University Library.

Illuminated and Other IX-XVIII Century Manuscripts … Property of a Distinguished Continental Collector, Now Deceased, Sold by Order of His Son …. (New York, 1948). 

From archive.org: “Excerpts from the Parke-Bernet Auction Catalog of November 1948 containing descriptions of oriental manuscripts being sold from the collection of a ‘distinguished continental collector.’ This collector was Otto Mettler-Specker and many of the manuscripts were purchased from the Karl Hiersemann Antiquariat of Leipzig and could be found described in the famous Hiersemann 500 auction catalog. The Syriac manuscripts owned by Mettler-Specker in particular were of importance because they were Chalcedonian, probably originating from St Catherine’s Monastery in the Sinai. The fate of many of the manuscripts sold at this auction is presently unknown and it is assumed that North American libraries and collectors probably own them, not fully realizing their provenance, history, or importance.”
