While the Chantry Library is closed for the summer, we will do our best to accommodate readers. Andrew Honey, Book Conservator, Research and Teaching, at the Bodleian Libraries, uses the conference paper collection to check an article by Chris Clarkson which appeared in the postprints of Icon’s first (and IPC’s last) international conference, Edinburgh 2006. He was delighted to find the conference handbook as well!

New Books!
The Chantry Library has received two books of interest to Japanese and Italian speakers. Yuri Nomura has sent her book ‘Books and Bookbinding’ or Syomotsu to Seihonjyutsu–Reliure/Toji no Bunkashi, just published in Tokyo by Misuzu Shobou. And Marco Curione has donated a copy of I “CODICI” venuti dal Mare, an interesting collection of essays revealing various aspects of the history and materiality of two exceptional codices found by fishermen at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea near the island of Pantelleria, Sicily.
A change of date

Until recently, Mastan was the librarian in charge at the Middle East Centre Library at St Antony’s College, Oxford.

Mastan will be working on Wednesdays from 9.30-4.30 during the University of Oxford term, all dates are listed on the Chantry website. We would also like to thank Valérie Beautemps, librarian from mid July, for her work in re-establishing the library and reopening for readers. Best wishes to Valerie on her move back to Brussels!
