Lambeth Palace Library Treasures from the Collection of the Archbishops of Canterbury /anglais - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
James I described Lambeth Palace Library as 'a monument of fame' in his kingdom. It is the historic library of the Archbishops of Canterbury; its records date from the 9th century to the present day. In this new collection of treasures from the Library, sixty items are reproduced in glorious detail alongside extended expert commentary. These include illuminated manuscripts from the Middle Ages such as the Macdurnan gospels and "Hours of Richard III"; manuscripts from the Tudor and Stuart eras, including a Venetian Atlas, a letter from Elizabeth I on her recovery from smallpox and the execution warrant for Mary Queen of Scots; early printed books, among them a "Gutenberg Bible" with English illumination, possibly the first printed book to come to England, and Elizabeth I's own prayer book with her portrait. Later items include the medical reports on the madness of George III and the "Golden Cockerel Press Four Gospels", one of the masterpieces of Eric Gill. An introduction by Dr Palmer traces the history of the Library and sets the selected treasures in the wider context of the Library's collections.

About the book >.>.> Lambeth Palace Library, established in 1610 by Archbishop Bancroft, serves as the historic library for the Archbishops of Canterbury and stands as one of the oldest public libraries in England. As the principal record repository of the Church of England, the library houses collections that span from the ninth century to the present day, showcasing the Archbishop's significant role on both national and international stages, as well as the evolving influence of the Church throughout history.This selection highlights some of the library?s most treasured items, meticulously reproduced with stunning detail and accompanied by insights from distinguished experts. The array of works includes the exquisite MacDurnan Gospels, a hallmark of Insular book production dating back to the ninth century, and the lavishly illuminated Lambeth Bible, a remarkable example of twelfth-century artistry. Among the notable books are Henry VIII?s copy of the Nuremberg Chronicle, a pivotal work in the history of book illustration, and poignant manuscripts from the Tudor and Stuart periods, including the execution warrant for Mary Queen of Scots, marking a significant moment in English history. Early printed works are also prominent, featuring a Gutenberg Bible with English illumination and Elizabeth I?s personal Prayer Book.The collection extends beyond British artefacts, encompassing Greek manuscripts, early Hebrew and Russian prints, and a 1710 letter from North American leaders thanking Archbishop Thomas Tenison for his missionary efforts. The library also offers unique insights into the lives of convicts in New South Wales through Richard Johnson?s accounts. This comprehensive exploration into the rich historical tapestry of Lambeth Palace Library invites readers to appreciate its invaluable contributions to understanding both ecclesiastical and cultural heritage.
