Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illuminated Manuscripts: Their Origin, History and Characteristics; A Sketch AN Official in one of our Cathedrals is stated* to have described himself as being the dean's Verger, and that his duty was to supersede the dean when he goes to his stall. The few words now employed about language and art is to do, for the matter in hand, what the verger meant was his duty to the Dean, to precede and clear the way. The Greeks, among other legends, about the origin of language, had one that writing was a gift that came down from heaven, ready formed and savages on seeing its use for the first time have acted as if the paper were alive, and possessed the power of sight and speech.

This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Illuminated Manuscripts, Principally Biblical and Liturgical, Exhibited on the Occasion of the Meeting of the Church Congress in October, MCMVIII The exhibition of illuminated manuscript, of which a descriptive catalogue will be found on pages 19-47, has been specially arranged in connection with the Church Congress which opens its proceedings in this city on the 6th of October. Doubtless many members of the Congress will be visiting Manchester for the first time, and it may not be without interest to them to learn, by means of this exhibition, something of the character of the collections which have made this library famous in the world of letters, and which, at the same time, have helped to make Manchester a centre of attraction for scholars from all parts of the world. It is impossible, within the limited space at our disposal, to attempt to convey anything like an adequate idea of the interest and importance of the library's collections in general, comprising, as they do, upwards of 120,000 printed books and 7,000 manuscripts. We have sought, therefore, to reveal something of the magnificence of the manuscripts and of the jewelled book-covers in which the library is so rich. We have designedly restricted our selection to the Biblical, liturgical, and other religious manuscripts in the collection, including a few Oriental examples, in order that the exhibition may be in keeping with the character of the Congress.
