The talk will reveal how Sir Thomas Phillipps’s catalogues of his vast library of printed books, published chaotically between 1819 and 1871, have experienced a similarly chaotic afterlife.

Professor Alan Nelson will address us on ‘The printed-book catalogues of Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872): eccentric publications of an eccentric man’.

To attend online, please register for the event here: ies.sas.ac.uk/news-events/.... We look forward to seeing you in person or online on 16 December.
