British Library Desk Diary 2014 by British Library

The British Library Diary 2014 is illustrated with illuminated manuscripts collected by the kings and queens of England from the 9th to the 16th century, originally from the Old Royal Library, given to the nation by George II in 1757 and now preserved in the British Library. These manuscripts contain paintings produced by some of the finest artists of the Middle Ages. A week-to-view and illustrated in full colour throughout, with a ribbon marker.

The British Library is the national library of the United Kingdom and one of the world's greatest research libraries. The Library's collection has developed over 250 years and exceeds 150 million separate items representing every age of written civilization and includes books, journals, manuscripts, maps, stamps, music, patents, photographs, newspapers, and sound recordings in all written and spoken languages. Among the greatest treasures in the Library's collection are two copies of the Magna Carta from 1215; the Lindisfarne Gospels; Leonardo da Vinci's notebook; the first edition of the Times (London) from 18 March 1788; manuscripts of the Beatles' lyrics; and the recording of Nelson Mandela's speech given at his trial.
