SUMMARY:Julia King: Remember the Scrybeler: Syon Abbey’s Books at Lambeth Palace Library
DESCRIPTION:Syon Abbey was England’s first and only Birgittine abbey\, founded by Henry V in 1415. By the time of the Dissolution\, it had become one of the richest monastic houses in England. The Abbey was a double house of men and women\, but the women’s community was far larger and\, during its existence\, the Abbey was headed exclusively by Abbesses. \n\n\n\nThe Birgittine order followed by the inhabitants of Syon Abbey forbade any material possessions other than books. Under the guidance of its several abbesses\, this exception led to the development of one of the largest libraries in England\, and a community where reading and piety were intertwined throughout daily life. In her lecture\, Julia King will comment on the cultures of women’s reading and writing that flourished at the Abbey\, using evidence from books in Lambeth Palace Library’s collections. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Tuesday 22 October. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.

SUMMARY:Charlie Rozier (UEA): Depicting Historical time in Anglo-Norman Manuscripts
DESCRIPTION:This talk will attempt to answer a single\, fundamental question: how does a medieval scribe draw time? Specifically\, it aims to consider how decisions regarding the placement of historical text on the pages of the codex were effective in communicating the passage of historical time to their readers\, according to the purposes of the text. Discussion focuses on examples from a corpus of historical texts and chronicles produced in England c.1100-1200\, which was a key period in the development of English historical writing and thought.  \n\n\n\nA number of manuscript case studies (including key examples from the collections of Lambeth Palace Library) will be used to identify the layers of decisions that scribes took in presenting historical time within the codex\, to highlight the varying ways in which textual layout influenced audience engagement with the progression of historical time. Ultimately\, Rozier hopes to show some of the ways in which Anglo-Norman scribes and their readers understood the concept of historical time\, and through this\, to better understand some of the key the principles that underpinned the writing of some of the most important works in the development of English historical thought to the end of the Middle Ages. \n\n\n\nTickets are available to book via Eventbrite. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Monday 29 April .

SUMMARY:Peter Lake (Vanderbilt): 'On Laudianism'
DESCRIPTION:Peter Lake\, Professor of History at Vanderbilt\, is one of the most distinguished writers on English religion after the Reformation. Later this year Cambridge University Press will publish Peter’s latest book\, Piety\, polemic and politics during the personal rule of Charles I. The central argument is that ecclesiastical politics under Charles I and Archbishop Laud in the 1630s represented a ‘full-scale making’ and ‘true reformation’ of the English church\, rejecting much that had passed as normative since the mid-16th century.  The forthcoming volume shows how the Laudians’ famous obsession with the beauty of holiness contained a plan for the reinvigoration of both the church and the state. It represented a self-conscious reaction against the long-term evils of puritanism and of the immediate political crisis of the 1620s. On Laudianism explores how this intensely controversial movement\, and the strong reactions it provoked\, helped cause the English Civil War\, but over the long term provided one of the visions of the national church\, one that has been in contention to define ‘Anglicanism’ ever since. \n\n\n\nPeter will discuss his findings with two fellow scholars of the period – Ken Fincham (University of Kent) and Anthony Milton (University of Sheffield\, to be followed by a general discussion.  \n\n\n\nIn association with the University of London research seminar on the Religious History of Britain\, 1500-1800. All are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org not later than Monday 19 June.

SUMMARY:Dr Harry Spillane (University of Cambridge): ‘The Bishops’ Bible\, Archbishop Matthew Parker\, and the Elizabethan Church’
DESCRIPTION:The Bishops’ Bible\, which was first printed in 1568\, has frequently been cast as a useless and widely unpopular translation of the Bible into English. However\, by exploring what the intended purposes of the Bishops’ Bible were\, and by paying attention to the wealth of images\, prefaces\, maps\, diagrams and heraldic devices within it\, a different story emerges. This talk explores the role that Archbishop Matthew Parker played in the creation of the Bishops’ Bible and sheds new light on this neglected version of the English Bible. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket on Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org not later than Monday 1 May. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually and we need each attendee’s name for security purposes. \n\n\n\nThis event takes place in the Bancroft Room\, Lambeth Palace Library (new building\, entrance on Lambeth Palace Road). Please arrive 10 minutes before the advertised start time to allow time to take the lift to the top.

SUMMARY:Joanna Story\, University of Leicester: 'Insular Manuscripts – some new approaches to some old questions.'
DESCRIPTION:More than 600 manuscripts survive that were written between c. 600–850 in the Irish or Anglo-Saxon kingdoms\, or in continental monasteries founded by missionaries from the islands of Britain or Ireland in the seventh or eighth centuries. Defined by characteristic script\, as well as decoration\, these manuscripts are graphic testimony to the contribution of the islands to post-Roman European culture. Digitisation has now reached critical mass\, facilitating comparative analysis in ways not previously possible. Other new methods\, including biocodicological analysis (proteomics\, aDNA\, microbiomes) and new visualisation techniques\, open up exciting new avenues for research around mobility (of people / books / cows)\, methods of making\, as well as the reading and reception of Insular manuscripts in the age of Charlemagne.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is in association with the Institute of English Studies. Registration is required for all events and booking must be made via the IES website: Insular Manuscripts – Some New Approaches to Some Old Questions | The Institute of English Studies (sas.ac.uk)

SUMMARY:Professor Raluca Radulescu (Bangor University):  'What do we need to know about the Prose Brut tradition and why? A medieval best-seller and modern scholarly silence'
DESCRIPTION:This talk will focus on the appeal of the Prose Brut tradition in the Middle Ages with a view to examining the relationship between the large number of manuscripts it survives in (over 200) and relatively little scholarly interest from modern scholars. It takes a broad view of how the text was presented to modern audiences (including the Lambeth Palace witnesses to the text) by generations of cataloguers and scholars\, and what a renewed interest in it might entail. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org not later than 6th March. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually and we need each attendee’s name for security purposes. \n\n\n\nThis event takes place in the Bancroft Room\, Lambeth Palace Library (new building\, entrance on Lambeth Palace Road). Please arrive 10 minutes before the advertised start time to allow time to take the lift to the top.

SUMMARY:Dr Helen Paul (University of Southampton): 'The South Sea Company and Enslavement'
DESCRIPTION:The South Sea Company is famous for giving its name to an early financial crash\, the South Sea Bubble of 1720. This event has overshadowed the company’s involvement in Britain’s transatlantic slave trade. In popular histories\, the importance of the company’s trading arm has been downplayed in order to highlight the supposed foolishness of investors. In reality\, the company managed to ship thousands of human beings across the Atlantic on the infamous Middle Passage. The talk will briefly outline the company’s history and the various ways in which that history has been traditionally told. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket on Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org not later than Monday 13 February. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually and we need each attendee’s name for security purposes. \n\n\n\nThis event takes place in the Bancroft Room\, Lambeth Palace Library (new building\, entrance on Lambeth Palace Road). Please arrive 10 minutes before the advertised start time to allow time to take the lift to the top.

SUMMARY:Professor Catherine Hall (UCL): 'Making White and Black: Edward Long slave-owner and historian of Jamaica'
DESCRIPTION:This talk will introduce Edward Long\, whose History of Jamaica published in 1774 (and in print ever since) aimed to convince a metropolitan audience that slavery was essential to the wealth of Britain and that black people were naturally born to serve those who were white. Long’s account of Jamaica provides an extraordinarily detailed picture of the plantation economy\, the slavery business as it operated across the Atlantic\, and the forms of racialisation on which the system depended. Long’s ideas of racial difference and hierarchy have had a powerful influence in Britain as well as in the US. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org not later than 5th February. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually and we need each attendee’s name for security purposes.

SUMMARY:Dr Christopher de Hamel (University of Cambridge): The Posthumous Papers of the Manuscript Club
DESCRIPTION:The illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages are among the greatest works of European art and literature. We are dazzled by them and recognize their crucial role in the transmission of knowledge. But we generally think much less about the countless men and women who made\, collected and preserved them through the centuries\, and to whom they owe their existence. Christopher de Hamel’s new book introduces us to some of the extraordinary people who have spent their lives among illuminated manuscripts over the last thousand years. A monk in Normandy\, a prince of France\, a Florentine bookseller\, an English antiquary\, a rabbi from central Europe\, a French priest\, a Keeper at the British Museum\, a Greek forger\, a German polymath\, a British connoisseur and the woman who created the most spectacular library in America – all of them were participants in what Christopher de Hamel calls the Manuscripts Club. \n\n\n\nThis talk will be followed by a book signing. \n\n\n\nIn the course of a long career at Sotheby’s and at Cambridge University\, Christopher de Hamel has probably seen and catalogued more medieval manuscripts than anyone alive\, and his delight and enthusiasm run through all he writes. He is the author of many books\, translated into numerous languages\, including A History of Illuminated Manuscripts\, The Book in the Cathedral\, and Meetings with Remarkable Manuscripts\, which won both the Duff Cooper Prize and the Wolfson History Prize. He is a Fellow of Corpus Christi College\, Cambridge. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org not later than 27th January. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually and we need each attendee’s name for security purposes. \n\n\n\nThis event takes place in the Bancroft Room\, Lambeth Palace Library (new building\, entrance on Lambeth Palace Road). Please arrive 10 minutes before the advertised start time to allow time to take the lift to the top.

SUMMARY:Dr Andrew Smith (University of Liverpool):  Responding to Historic Organisation Misconduct Accusations: the Campaign for Corporate Reparations for Black Slavery
DESCRIPTION:About thirty UK and US firms have been accused by Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists of having profited from black slavery before its abolition in the British Empire and the United States. There were calls for these companies to pay compensation to the descendants of enslaved people. The responses of the accused firms were diverse: some firms simply ignored the accusations or dismissed their relevance\, while others issued apologies that were accompanied by commitments to significant spending on reparations. This talk will explain why some organisations have taken the accusations seriously\, while others have been dismissive. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org not later than 15th January. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually and we need each attendee’s name for security purposes. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis event takes place in the Bancroft Room\, Lambeth Palace Library (new building\, entrance on Lambeth Palace Road). Please arrive 10 minutes before the advertised start time to allow time to take the lift to the top.

SUMMARY:Breakspear: the unknown English pope
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Adrian Waddingham \n\n\n\nNicholas Breakspear has been overlooked for centuries\, even though his achievements outshone those of his contemporary\, Thomas Becket. Born in poverty and probably illegitimate\, Breakspear rose to become the only Englishman to ascend the throne of Saint Peter\, ruling over the papal states as Adrian IV. His life is not a tale of liturgy or sermons\, and there are more cannons than canons\, as Breakspear faced fighting in Scandinavia and the Second Crusade in Spain. He was immediately thrust into conflicts upon his election as pope in 1154. First\, he had to overcome the rebellious republicans of Rome before defending his Church against armed threats from the Norman King William of Sicily\, the Byzantine Emperor Comnenus and finally the German King Frederick Barbarossa\, intent on restoring the former glories of the Holy Roman Empire. Breakspear saved his Church from German domination\, but his legacy is contested. There was a papal schism on his death\, while many blame him for allowing Henry II’s subjugation of Ireland in 1171. For the first time in over 100 years\, R. A. J. Waddingham returns to the evidence in chronicles and medieval manuscripts to tell the whole story of Breakspear’s remarkable journey through twelfth-century Europe. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket at Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org not later than Monday 14 November. \n\n\n\nThis event takes place in the Bancroft Room\, Lambeth Palace Library (new building\, entrance on Lambeth Palace Road). Please arrive 10 minutes before the advertised start time to allow time to take the lift to the top.

SUMMARY:‘Lived religion’ in eighteenth-century England: the education of poor children
DESCRIPTION:The Church of England Record Society Annual Lecture 2022  \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: W.M. Jacob \n\n\n\nDrawing on the insights of ‘lived religion’ this paper investigates evidence from a wide range of eighteenth century archival sources\, including diocesan parochial and borough records\, to illustrate the religious commitment of Anglican lay people of the ‘middling sort’ in a wide geographical range of parishes. It suggests that their devotion of money and time to provide\, by a variety of means\, access to spiritual development\, literacy and numeracy for poor children is evidence of their living out Christian faith. Schooling was usually reinforced by providing and overseeing occupational training through apprenticeships\, and providing godly literature and devotional works for apprentices and their masters and mistresses to lift children out of poverty and improve their prospects in life. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket at Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org not later than Friday 1 July. \n\n\n\nThis event takes place in the Bancroft Room\, Lambeth Palace Library (new building\, entrance on Lambeth Palace Road). Please arrive 10 minutes before the advertised start time to allow time to take the lift to the top.
