Paul Seaward on "The History of the Rebellion" by Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon
Archbishop Matthew Parker, patron of bookbinding
Wed 3 February 2016
University Library
Matthew Parker, one of the most learned of all Archbishops of Canterbury, had a splendid library, the greater part of which is at Corpus Christi College. Parker was not only interested in the contents of his books and manuscripts, he also commissioned elaborately decorated bindings and employed bookbinders at Lambeth Palace. This talk will focus on the bindings of Parker’s own books and manuscripts and on those that he presented to others.
This talk will be given by Mirjam Foot, Emeritus Professor of Library & Archive Studies, UCL
