“Royal Manuscripts: The Genius of Illumination” is the British Library’s first major exhibition to focus on the Library’s Royal collection, a treasure trove of illuminated manuscripts associated with and collected by the kings and queens of England between the 9th and 16th centuries. The exhibition features manuscripts that are among the most outstanding examples of decorative and figurative painting from this era
to survive in Britain today.
In connection with the exhibition, the Library will host a two-day international conference with eighteen speakers, each focussing on a different aspect of the Royal collection, including readers, scribes, genealogy, style, law, legend and history.
The research for this exhibition has been funded by a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Student bursaries generously supported by AMARC.
