Earlier this year, Professor Margaret Manion, the renowned, Melbourne-based international scholar of the art of the medieval manuscript gave a wonderfully knowledgeable and entertaining lecture about the remarkable group of medieval manuscripts in the National Library’s exhibition Handwritten (which ran from 26 November 2011-18 March 2012). Handwritten featured 100 unique manuscript treasures from the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin (Berlin State Library).

Professor Manion’s excellent lecture (along with several others of interest about the exhibition Handwritten, please check the website for details) is now available from the Library’s podcast page.
