A write up of our wonderful 'Great Bible Exhibition' and the scientific analysis carried out on the two stunning presentation copies made for Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell @theUL @NLWales @stjohnscam @QMUL @HiPS_Project . Such a joy to spend time with these books!.

Happy International Heraldry Day!. Why not celebrate by reading all about Archbishop Matthew Parker's uses of heraldry in Elizabethan England in this short piece of mine for @ParkerLibCCCC @CorpusCambridge . @TheHeraldrySoc #coatsofarms #heraldry.

Archbishop Matthew Parker died on this day 450 years ago today. He was Elizabeth I's first archbishop of Canterbury, a dedicated collector of manuscripts, and wearer of a very fine moustache. @ParkerLibCCCC @CorpusCambridge . I discuss his portraiture here
