New online exhibition: Reading with the Quill at Hand

Historical annotations, graffiti, doodles, and drawings never cease to intrigue both historians and the public alike; they speak to a shared human experience that echoes through millennia. This exhibition focuses specifically on annotations within a manuscript and a printed document that were produced at pivotal moments in the development of Christian scholarship and theology. However, whilst they are often thought provoking and charming, marks that appear in these texts are not always the subject of extensive historical analysis, instead, they are regularly left for specialists to interpret.
