His Royal Favour: The Books That Built the Library

In September 1715, George I presented to the University a transformative gift; the 30,000 books and manuscripts collected by Bishop John Moore. For three hundred years these volumes have been at the heart of University research, and our current exhibition shows a selection of these, ranging from an eighth-century manuscript of Bede to scientific and architectural masterpieces.
