A talk on ‘The Medieval Library of Rochester Cathedral Priory: Survivors and Their Significance’ will take place in the Templeman Library Lecture Theatre, on Wednesday 13 April, from 13.30-14.30.

Professor James Carley will talk about Rochester Cathedral Library’s “hidden collection” and reveal the fascinating stories behind the medieval manuscripts and books. He will delve into the medieval catalogues of the Priory Library to discover what they tell us about the collection in the Middle Ages, and bring to light the fascinating stories and subsequent fates of many of the Rochester manuscripts.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the hidden treasures of Rochester Cathedral and what they tell us about the medieval world.

The Library has been collaborating with Rochester Cathedral as part of an Heritage Lottery Fund project to catalogue the Cathedral’s Library materials and support engagement with the academic community at the University.
