On Monday 28 November 2022, 18:00-19:00 (CET) Christopher de Hamel will introduce his new book and talk about people who spent their lives with medieval manuscripts from the eleventh century to the twentieth.

“In this talk we will meet the patrons and illuminators, but also the antiquaries and collectors, the librarians, the dealers, the scholars and a rabbi and even a forger, all brought together by their passion for the books of the Middle Ages.” (from: Bodleian Library).

This event is free and available to attend in person at the Weston Library or online via Zoom. For registration and further details, see Bodleian Library
