Meeting medieval manuscripts, with Dr Erik Niblaeus

Dr Erik Niblaeus talks about the part studying medieval manuscripts plays in the ASNC course, and about the opportunities students on the course have for hands-on experience working with the ancient books in the libraries of Cambridge. He shows how it is even possible to study manuscripts remotely in the digital age, thanks to investment by libraries and the hard work of teams who have photographed the books; he introduces some of the manuscripts now in the Wren Library at Trinity College, Cambridge, using the freely-available Wren Digital Library: www.trin.cam.ac.uk/library/wr...
