Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Mediaeval Manuscripts and Jewelled Book Covers: Shown in the Main Library From January XII to December MCMXII The exhibition of medieval manuscripts, of which a descriptive catalogue will be found on pages 21-59, has been arranged, primarily, to signalise the visit to the library of the members of the Historical Association, on the occasion of the holding of their fifth annual meeting in Manchester. Doubtless many members of the Association will be visiting this city for the first time, and it may be of interest to them to learn, by means of this exhibition, something of the character of the collections which have made this library famous in the world of letters, and which at the same time have helped to make Manchester a centre of attraction for scholars from all parts of the world. It is impossible within the limited space at our disposal to attempt to convey anything like an adequate idea of the scope and importance of the library´s collections in general, comprising, as they do, upwards of 170,000 printed books and 7000 manuscripts. We have sought, therefore, to reveal something of the magnificence of the manuscripts, and of the jewelled book-covers in which the library is so rich. Prefixed to the catalogue will be found a brief account of the library´s manuscript possessions, the object of which is to indicate something of the breadth of their range.
