Dedicated to collecting, preserving and sharing the Church’s cultural and religious heritage, the Library’s vast collection is accessible to all. In this engaging book, former Librarian and Archivist Giles Mandelbrote guides the reader through some of the Library’s greatest treasures, from the MacDurnan Gospels and the Lambeth Bible to the Lambeth copy of the Gutenberg Bible.
