Five Medieval Manuscripts bought by the British Library

The British Library Medieval manuscript blog recently reported the acquisition as a result of significant financial donations, of five important medieval manuscripts from the collection at Longleat House by the Library.

The blog describes, and has fine illustrations from, each of the five volumes. Each one offers a range of insights into the religious and intellectual history of the high and later medieval centuries.

I will leave readers to peruse the blog post, and find out what the books contain. The piece, which promises future articles on each book, can be seen at Five outstanding manuscripts acquired for the nation
