About the event

The Bodleian Libraries have recently acquired a previously unknown manuscript from the library of Humfrey Duke of Gloucester. First written and illuminated in Paris towards the end of the 13th century, the manuscript is an early example of the translation of the New Testament into French. Owned by Jean le Bon, King of France, in the middle of the 14th century, by the early 15th it was in England and came into the hands of a series of Lancastrian royal princes.

This symposium provides a first opportunity to explore this outstanding arrival and to point the way for future research.

Coffee and tea will be provided.

This symposium will be followed by a drinks reception in Blackwell Hall.
