@MuseeLouvre's new exhibition ‘A new look at Van Eyck’ will feature a decorated French Book of Hours from the early 15th century that was bequeathed to @keblelib in 1911.
The exhibition marks the restoration of the Louvre’s Van Eyck painting '‘The Madonna of Chancellor Rolin‘.

The Library is the go-to study space located opposite the dining hall.
There are upper and lower reading rooms and our two friendly librarians are often around to help students with questions and queries to help them use the space. 📚

📖These are the Lower Reading Rooms in Keble Library, situated at the heart of College.
🪟 A relaxing and peaceful College study space overlooking both Liddon and Pusey Quad.
Fun fact: One of the rooms downstairs used to be the JCR!

We’ve found the Book of Hours captured by Holbein in his famous portrait of #ThomasCromwell! Cromwell’s book is one of the few objects depicted in a Tudor portrait to survive. @TracyBorman has dubbed it “the most exciting Cromwell discovery in a generation - if not more.”

What did Faye, our Keeper of the University Archives, do to satisfy her curiosity about it?
She made some of course! Here's what she learned. ✍️

Fascinating! This #nuntastic prayerbook is a stunning example for the richly illuminated #manuscripts from the Cistercian convent of Meding! The Noth-German convent was dedicated to St Mary and St Maurice! #medievaltwitter #medieval #medievaltart
This historiated initial from a book of private devotions depicts the martyrdom of St Maurice, a 3rd century Egyptian military leader.
This devotion to St Maurice, and the Low German language of the vernacular prayers suggests an origin within the archbishopric of Magdeburg
ALT Decorated page of a late medieval manuscript. The initial G contains an depiction of St Maurice's martyrdom by beheading.

Manuscript 344, 'Processional of St. Amand-les-Eaux'. Does anyone recognise the tunes in this medieval processional? The spine also reveals some interesting history, as recycled older manuscripts can be seen peeking out.
ALT St John's College, manuscript 344. The open pages show musical notation and a large red, blue and green initial 'O'.
