Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
Salisbury Cathedral
Address
West Walk Salisbury, SP1 2EJ, United Kingdom

We are pleased to welcome Dr Christopher de Hamel, medieval manuscript expert and academic librarian, to share his thoughts on the recent return of the 13th Century Sarum Master Bible to Salisbury. Following a successful fundraising campaign by Friends of the Nations’ Libraries, the Bible was purchased from a private owner, via Sotheby’s, and donated to Salisbury Cathedral. But why should it be kept in the Cathedral’s library?
