SUMMARY:Dr Kathleen Kennedy: Archbishops and the Wycliffite Bible
DESCRIPTION:The Wycliffite Bible is famous (or infamous) for being illegal\, and leading to the martyrdoms of Lollards for over a hundred years. Why\, then\, do so many copies exist today? Why are so many of them beautifully illuminated? In this talk\, we will discover the answers to these questions. We will even explore how some Wycliffite Bibles were made by the same artisans that the archbishops themselves commissioned. Join us as we bust some myths\, and learn more about the Wycliffite Bibles preserved in Lambeth Palace Library. \n\n\n\nKathleen E. Kennedy is a British Academy Global Professor at the University of Bristol. An expert in late medieval English manuscripts and early printed books\, Kennedy considers these artifacts not only as texts\, but also as vital clues to the material culture of their era. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend must book a ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Tuesday 15 October. Please note that we are operating a waiting list.

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:The Restoration and Revival of Chichester Cathedral Library\, 1670–1735
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this guest lecture by Andrew Foster held in partnership with the the Institute of Historical Research\, given at Lambeth and open to all. \n\n\n\nFor the redoubtable Dr Mary Hobbs (1923–1998)\, the return of Bishop Henry King’s Library marked the rebirth of Chichester Cathedral Library post 1671; yet close analysis of The Old Catalogue before 1735 reveals other stories of benefactors and books in what was quite a renaissance for cathedral\, city\, and the surrounding region at the end of the seventeenth century. \n\n\n\nThis is an opportunity to hear a paper delivered earlier in the year for the History of Libraries seminar when attendance was badly affected by train strikes. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome but those wishing to attend should book a ticket via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than 6 December.

SUMMARY:Anne Lawrence - Mathers: Prediction\, Prognostication – or Divination? The Medieval Calendar as a guide to the Future.
DESCRIPTION:Anyone who listens to news broadcasts will be familiar with modern forms of forecasting and predicting. These range from the scientific\, like weather forecasts\, to the more contentious\, like predictions concerning the future state of the economy. Medieval people also had ways of making ‘scientific’ predictions\, many of which were rooted in beliefs about time\, and its intricate relationships to the planets and the stars. \n\n\n\nThis lecture will begin with the striking amount of astronomical and astrological information incorporated into medieval calendars\, and then demonstrate how this was used in association with texts known as ‘prognostics’ in order to make various sorts of predictions. It will begin with weather forecasts\, then as now recognised as important and valuable.

SUMMARY:Arnold Hunt (University of Durham): The Forgotten Laudian? Richard Steward and the origins of Anglican high churchmanship
DESCRIPTION:Richard Steward (1595-1651) played a key role in the promotion of Laudianism in the 1630s and the formation of Anglican royalism in the 1640s. During the Uxbridge negotiations in 1645\, he exerted a decisive influence in persuading the king not to compromise on episcopacy\, and after Charles’s execution in 1649 he continued to play an influential role in holding together the exiled royalist community and arguing against any accommodation with the Commonwealth regime. Yet his significance as a Laudian ideologue and preacher remains obscure\, largely because his sermons never appeared in print during his lifetime. \n\n\n\nThis paper will reconstruct Steward’s career and situate his sermons in their original context in the 1620s in order to highlight his importance as a central figure in the development of Laudianism. \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 Monday 24 March. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.

SUMMARY:Megan McNamee: Light and Labour in Late Medieval Concertina-Fold Almanacs
DESCRIPTION:Online Event only \n\n\n\nLight and labour were linked by custom and law in the Middle Ages\, when\, for example\, statutes dictated that agricultural workers were to leave their tasks while there was sufficient light to make their way home. We see the connection in medieval calendars. The average hours of daylight and darkness for each month were often recorded on pages along with lively images of seasonal activities\, known as the Labours of the Months. Both elements take pride of place in late medieval concertina-fold almanacs—tiny\, mass-produced books\, made to be worn on the body. \n\n\n\nWithin their folds\, one encounters brightly painted pictures of people busily turning earth\, trimming vines\, sowing\, slaughtering\, baking and so on. Beside them are circular diagrams depicting the hours of daylight and darkness. Whereas the Labours were a standard feature of calendars\, the diagrams are uncommon; and the tight juxtaposition of the two\, near unique. This paper considers what this unusual pairing tells us about the experience of time and work—manual and devotional—in late medieval Europe. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book a free ticket via Microsoft Teams or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Tuesday 8 April. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.

SUMMARY:Concertina-Fold Books across Time\, Space and Cultures Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Accordion\, screenfold\, chain—various terms have been applied to books folded in a zig-zag or ‘concertina’ pattern. Seen now as novelties\, concertina-fold books were once found worldwide. They were even the preferred or sole book format in some places\, before the imperial spread of the codex. This one-day symposium gathers international experts to talk about the historic uses of the concertina structure in a range of cultural contexts around the world. The discussion showcases some of the many\, outstanding examples of these books housed in local London and Oxford collections. \n\n\n\nThe morning session is an around-the-world tour with short talks on how the concertina-fold format was deployed in different places\, across time. The afternoon is devoted to more in-depth discussion of the choice and effects of the concertina format. Lunch will be provided for in-person participants. \n\n\n\nThe symposium is part of programming for the Unfolding Time exhibition\, on medieval ‘pocket’ calendars\, which looks at the way the concertina format was deployed in late medieval Europe\, with a focus on England. In-person attendees will have the opportunity to visit the exhibition and play with concertina facsimiles. The event is made possible through generous funding from the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (CSMC)\, University of Hamburg; Royal Society of Edinburgh; and The National Lottery Heritage Fund. \n\n\n\nSCHEDULE \n\n\n\n9:30–10:00 Attendee arrival and check-in \n\n\n\n10:00 –Symposium Welcome\, Pip Willcox and Sarah Griffin \n\n\n\nSESSION 1: The Concertina-fold book around the world \n\n\n\n10:15 Introduction\, Megan McNamee \n\n\n\n10:30 Chinese\, Costantino Moretti \n\n\n\n10:40 Tibetan\, Benjamin Nourse \n\n\n\n10:50 Japanese\, Halle O’Neal \n\n\n\n11:00 Batak\, Roberta Zollo \n\n\n\n11:10 Thai\, Peera Panarut \n\n\n\n11:20 Ethiopic\, Ewa Balicka-Witakowska \n\n\n\n11:30 Mesoamerican\, Jamie Forde \n\n\n\n11:40 Q&A \n\n\n\n12:00–1:00 LUNCH (included in ticket) + tours of the Unfolding Time exhibition \n\n\n\nSESSION 2: Implications: The Choice and significance of folding \n\n\n\n1:00 Introduction\, Megan McNamee \n\n\n\n1:10 Choosing the concertina: Evidence from Dunhuang\, Costantino Moretti \n\n\n\n1:30 Tracing the disappearance of folds in Japanese Buddhist manuscript culture\, Halle O’Neal \n\n\n\n1:50 Straightening the Magic: The Concertina manuscripts produced by the Batak people of North Sumatra\, Roberta Zollo \n\n\n\n2:10 Q&A \n\n\n\n2:30–3:00 COFFEE + comfort break \n\n\n\nSESSION 3: Concertina communication \n\n\n\n3:00 Introduction\, Megan McNamee \n\n\n\n3:10 Ethiopic concertina-fold manuscripts\, Ewa Balicka-Witakowska \n\n\n\n3:30 Pictures and graphic elements in Thai concertina-fold books\, Peera Panarut \n\n\n\n3:50 Q&A \n\n\n\n4:00 Concluding remarks\, Marilena Maniaci \n\n\n\n4:20 Acknowledgements & Thanks\, Sarah Griffin \n\n\n\n4:30–5:30 RECEPTION + Unfolding Time exhibition open \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nEwa Balicka-Witakowska\, Uppsala University \n\n\n\nJamie Forde\, University of Edinburgh \n\n\n\nMegan McNamee\, University of Edinburgh \n\n\n\nCostantino Moretti\, École française d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO) \n\n\n\nBenjamin Nourse\, University of Denver \n\n\n\nHalle O’Neal\, University of Edinburgh \n\n\n\nPeera Panarut\, Museum für Asiatische Kunst\, Staatlichen Museen\, Berlin \n\n\n\nRoberta Zollo\, Museumverband Niedersachsen und Bremen e.V.

SUMMARY:Anthony Milton (Uni of Sheffield): “British” and “European” texts and the Church of England 1560-1660: rethinking sources and categories
DESCRIPTION:An Institute of Historical Research and Friends of Lambeth Palace Library seminar.  \n\n\n\nIt is no news that European divines sometimes had an important impact on English Protestantism. But in this paper I would like to rethink more broadly the status of the texts and individuals that we use to investigate the Church of England in this period. This will take the form not only of trying to problematize our readings of the categories of ‘English’ and ‘foreign’ authors (not least by stressing the number of English authors publishing abroad) but also of casting a fresh eye on European discussions of English religion in this period. \n\n\n\nNot only were European assumptions about the English church sometimes shaped by authors whom we might not suspect\, but non-English writers sometimes subjected English texts and ideas to much more systematic and searching analysis and criticism than English critics were able to muster. I therefore hope to give people who are interested in early modern English religion and who attend the seminar some new names and texts to think about and explore\, and perhaps some different priorities to ponder. \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 Monday 16 June. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.

SUMMARY:Church of England Record Society AGM and Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Philip Williamson presents ‘Royal prayers: Henry VIII to Charles III’. \n\n\n\nFor five centuries\, the Church of England has prayed for the sovereign and for members of the royal family. This lecture will consider the types\, purposes and alterations in these prayers for royalty\, in The Book of Common Prayer\, in prayers before sermons\, and in special prayers and special services. Prayers before sermons long remained important as assertions of the royal supremacy\, and the prayers for the royal family in the Book of Common Prayer in defining the royal succession. Both could act as tests of loyalty\, or be a focus for discontent with the monarch or church leaders. While special services and prayers reinforced the early modern sacralisation of the monarchy\, in modern times they have honoured the new value of the sovereign for the Church of England. \n\n\n\nProfessor Philip Williamson is Emeritus Professor of Modern British History at Durham University. He is the author of several books on modern British history\, and co-editor of National Prayers: Special Worship since the Reformation (4 volumes\, Church of England Record Society\, 2013-2025). \n\n\n\nPlease note the AGM will begin at 16:00 and the lecture will begin at 17:00. \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 Thursday 3 July. \n\n\n\nPlease note that tickets must be booked individually for security purposes.

SUMMARY:Lecture & Launch - Sing Joyfully: Exploring Music in Lambeth Palace Library
DESCRIPTION:Dr Joseph Mason will give a short paper to introduce the exhibition Sing Joyfully: Exploring Music in Lambeth Palace Library. In particular\, he will discuss a newly discovered piece of medieval polyphony found in Lambeth Palace Library’s foundational printed collections. These two leaves\, which date to the late thirteenth or early fourteenth century\, contain four motets of English provenance\, all but one of which were heretofore unknown to us.

Prior to joining Clare Hall\, Joseph was Weston Junior Research Fellow in Music at New College\, Oxford\, and a Government of Ireland Postdoctoral Fellow at University College Dublin. Joseph’s research centres on the music and culture of thirteenth-century France. He is especially interested in questions of musical meaning\, and his work combines music analysis with historical work\, critical theory\, and manuscript studies. In addition to his academic work\, Joseph is also active as a singer\, organist\, and harpsichordist. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, but those wishing to attend should book via Eventbrite or email archives@churchofengland.org no later than Wednesday 30 July. \n\n\n\nThere will be a private viewing of the exhibition after the lecture\, please email archives@churchofengland.org letting us know if you would like to attend and any dietary requirements. \n\n\n\nThis event is also available to watch online.

SUMMARY:Arundel Choirbook in Concert at St Nicholas' Church\, Arundel
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Arundel Choirbook (Lambeth Palace Library MS 1)\, in conjunction with the exhibition ‘Sing Joyfully: Exploring Music in Lambeth Palace Library’\, join us at St Nicholas’ Church in historic Arundel\, West Sussex\, for a concert of music from the Arundel Choirbook and its contemporaries. This is a unique opportunity to hear the music from the Arundel Choirbook in the place where it was produced 500 years ago. \n\n\n\nPerformed by the Iken Scholars\, one of London’s premier chamber choirs\, under the baton of director Matthew Dunn\, this concert will place music from the Arundel Choirbook in conversation with the wider environment of 16th century church music. The concert will feature selections from the set known as the ‘Lambeth Anonymous’\, found only in the Arundel Choirbook and of unknown authorship\, which have been recently recorded by the Iken Scholars in the historic Lambeth Palace Chapel. This album will be released later this year. \n\n\n\nThis event will be organised and hosted by the Friends of St Nicholas Church\, Arundel\, in the unique medieval building that houses both St Nicholas Church and the Roman Catholic Fitzalan Chapel. All money raised from the concert will go towards maintaining and improving the fabric of their remarkable 14th-century church. \n\n\n\nPlease note that this event is taking place in Arundel and tickets must be booked via the venue\, NOT via Lambeth Palace Library. \n\n\n\nThe Iken Scholars will be performing the same repertoire at Lambeth Palace on 25th September.

DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Arundel Choirbook (Lambeth Palace Library MS 1)\, in conjunction with the exhibition ‘Sing Joyfully: Exploring Music in Lambeth Palace Library’\, join us in Lambeth Palace’s Great Hall for a concert of music from the Arundel Choirbook and its contemporaries. Performed by the Iken Scholars\, one of London’s premier chamber choirs\, under the baton of director Matthew Dunn\, this concert will place music from the Arundel Choirbook in conversation with the wider environment of 16th century church music. The concert will feature selections from the set known as the ‘Lambeth Anonymous’\, found only in the Arundel Choirbook and of unknown authorship\, which have been recently recorded by the Iken Scholars in the historic Lambeth Palace Chapel. This album will be released later this year. \n\n\n\nA wine reception will follow the concert. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition will remain open until 7:15 at Lambeth Palace Library for those who wish to view it before proceeding to the Lambeth Palace Great Hall for the concert. Please note that it is a 5-10 minute walk from Lambeth Palace Library to the Lambeth Palace Gate House and allow travel time accordingly. \n\n\n\nPlease pay what you wish. At Lambeth Palace Library\, we are committed to opening our collections to as wide an audience as possible. You are warmly welcomed to attend this concert and pay what you wish for tickets.
