This exhibition runs 14-24 July 2016

The Baillieu Library is hosting a brief and exclusive exhibition of recent acquisitions from the Kerry Stokes Collection to coincide with this year's Rare Book Week.

The centrepiece is a rare eleven metre scroll printed on parchment, Cronica Cronicarum, recording the history of the world. The scroll is supported by a number of illuminated manuscripts on vellum from the same period with interesting provenances.
