Tattered Essence

Here is an interesting bit of news from the BBC. There is a set of royal books that are going to be put on display for the first time ever. BBC News reports that around 150 medieval and Renaissance books, as well as other literary artifacts,  are to be put on display at the British Library in London in 2011. These books were once owned by English monarchs. And this marks the first time for them to go on public display. There is even a manuscript that goes back to 1445 that will be in this collection!
