Alcuin's Lost Library

I found out on Saturday that some members of York Scribes have been working with the University to produce some calligraphy based on the lost library. The exhibition is in the Minster library. Apparently it's not well signposted from outside so you have to know where you are going! See http://www.yorkminster.org/learning/the-old-palace-archives-conservation-and-library/

Unfortunately I didn't get to see the exhibition as it's only open Mon-Fri 2-4pm until 15 April.

There are two lectures on Friday starting at 6pm - on the subjects of Anglo-Saxon Northumbria and Alcuin's York. For details/tickets email boxoffice@Yorkminster.org or phone 0844 939 0015.
