An illustrated history of the Wren Library at Trinity College, Cambridge.
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
The Library at Trinity College, designed by Sir Christopher Wren and completed in 1695, is known all over the world for its books, its architecture, and its sculpture. Each of these aspects is authoritatively examined in this volume, as David McKitterick, Howard Colvin, and Malcolm Baker explore the ways in which seventeenth-century ideas were modified and extended until, by the early nineteenth century, the Library had achieved the coherent appearance which it has today. Their discussion is accompanied by numerous illustrations, including reproductions of all of Wren's surviving drawings of the Library.
'This is a book altogether worthy of the great library it honours.' Peter Hoare, Rare Books Newsletter
