[[File:45v and 46r Leiden I Maccabees.jpg|thumb|Manuscript from the Collection Perizonius (Leiden University Library, PER F 17)]]
Perizonius was a collector of rare books and manuscripts. To the [[Leiden University Library]] he bequeathed 134 manuscripts, one painting, many printed books and a legacy to buy new books. The manuscripts are kept separate as the Collection Perizonius in the library. One of the famous manuscripts in the Perizonius collection is a manuscript, probably from the [[Abbey of Saint Gall]] dating from the 10th century. It includes ''[[1 Maccabees]]'' and the fourth book of ''Epitoma Rei Militaris'' by [[Vegetius]]. The manuscript includes many richly decorated pages depicting the historic invasion of Germany by the Hungarians. The digital version of MS PER F 17 is available on Leiden's Digital Collections. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://hdl.handle.net/1887.1/item:850585  |title=Digital version of Composite manuscript, two parts (Latin): 1.
