A peep from Audubon’s Great Grey Owl, spotted in the wilds of the Rare Books Reading Room at @theUL today. 💚
Over 2,200 titles relating to 'Foreign Colonies' (in Eng. & European languages) collected by the RCS library have recently been added to iDiscover. More here: languagecollections-blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/2024/05/03/cat…
We are deeply saddened by the death of our friend and colleague, Dr William Noel. A brilliant scholar, his 2019 Sandars Lectures in Bibliography @theUL, were sensational: youtube.com/watch?v=7S45Vs…. Our condolences to Will's family and friends.
Page from "On Squaring and Circling" by al-Jahiz (d. 868/869 CE), found - somewhat unexpectedly - in the #Cairo #Genizah. It is one of the oldest surviving copies of any of al-Jahiz’s works (ca. 10th century). #manuscriptmonday
For centuries the first of May was a day of celebration across the UK – maypoles, wildflowers, games, and parades. We’d like to adopt the tradition of ‘tea, buns, currant bread, oranges and new pennies’ as featured in Knutsford’s celebrations in 1888! 1889.8.274.
“Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking.” Some pretty endpapers on a copy of the ‘Dialogen des Diogenes von Sinope’ (Leipzig, 1770), in which the German poet Christoph Martin Wieland gave a vindication of his philosophical views. A recent acquisition @theULSpecColl 7000.e.517.
Three successful oracle bone sessions @theUL. Grateful to Prof. Roel Sterckx @CambridgeFames for organizing and to Peichao Qin for expert instructions. Thanks to colleagues at the Chinese Section, Conservation, and @theULSpecColl for their support. Attendees were highly engaged.
For St Mark’s Day - patron saint of #Venice - here he is with his rather camp lion in the Book of Cerne, an early ninth-century prayer book made in Mercia & now @theULSpecColl (MS Ll.1.10). #StMark #SanMarco
Presenting the improved provenance index to @theUL's post-1500 printed books, now with links to iDiscover! Includes over 9,000 entries, with more to come. Additional information, corrections, etc. welcome. More at lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/de…
Great workshop today with @LizEmRouge on early twentieth-century political imagery, using books from across @theUL’s collections. Organised with @camvisculture.
St George and the dragon, from a book of magic spells and incantations written in Syriac (Northern Iraq?, 18th century?). Given to @theULSpecColl in 1891 by University Librarian Francis Jenkinson. MS Add. 3086. #StGeorgesDay #StGeorge
An eighteenth-century pocket globe for #EarthDay2024 View a 3D model here: cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-ORCS-0… ORCS.1.01
Catalogued a new #incunable @theULSpecColl today: Francis of Meyronnes’ sermons (#Venice, January 1491/2). It escaped to Germany early on (binding tools from Esslingen - lovely acorns) & was soon at the Franciscan convent at Villingen; perhaps initials LCV relate to this. (1/2)
Flowers on the outside of @theUL’s copy of the ‘Flora Danica’ (Copenhagen, 1766 [i.e. 1761]-1883). S370.a.76.1-
Today marks the 200th anniversary of Byron’s death in 1824. A few years later his library was sold. We have a copy of the sale catalogue which is an interesting read! @theULSpecColl Munby.c.131(8).
Service Update: please note that we'll be unable to provide a Special Collections fetching service on Saturday 20 & 27 April, & 4, 11, 18 and 25 of May. The Manuscripts Reading Room will be open as usual from 9.30am to 4:30pm for readers to consult pre-ordered material.
Hundreds of nineteenth-century book auction catalogues @theUL now catalogued & available! Read more here: specialcollections-blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=28022
It’s International Bat Appreciation Day! Here are some thirteenth-century bats from one of our bestiaries (a compendium of beasts!), made in London c. 1230. MS Kk.4.25. Check out the original in the @CamDigLib :cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-KK-000…

Really excellent to see this from the expert curators responsible for the vast collections of early printed books held @theUL. An interesting read even if you’re not planning to use the collections - and even more if you are. Please retweet!
Presenting the improved provenance index to @theUL's post-1500 printed books, now with links to iDiscover! Includes over 9,000 entries, with more to come. Additional information, corrections, etc. welcome. More at lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/de…
Received fantastic training last Friday from my esteemed colleague @iamkristinesr, Head of Conservation and Heritage at @theUL, on how to handle and measure oracle bones carefully in a super professional way. So much to learn from colleagues with various expertise in our library.
@liamsims @theULSpecColl Very Popish indeed! what a time period that was.
I agree with Keble because my alma mater laid off the adjectives
We @theUL must, politely, disagree. Velvet is luxuriously & sumptuously gorgeous! This example, on a book of sermons printed in 1596, *may* (possibly) have been made for presentation to Elizabeth I (SSS.24.32).
Our new exhibition is now open! Murder by the Book is a celebration of 20th-century British crime fiction. Two of the star items in this exhibition are Agatha Christie’s 1937 typewriter and her Dictaphone. Here, @nicolaupsonbook, explains why these items are so special…
Grateful to @EdwinRose3 for suggesting I look at a particular box marked ‘Plant Sciences Library Miscellanea’ -pictured here ‘poison’ labels and one of many ads for JS Henslow’s botanical lectures (MS Add.10205) @theUL
