Treasures of the Royal Irish Academy Library

To chci

This beautifully illustrated hardback volume discusses the nationally and internationally important holdings of the Library of the Royal Irish Academy. This volume is not only a celebration of the diversity of the works that the library curates, but also an exploration of: the nature and origins of the collections and artefacts; people who have shaped and commented on them over the course of time; and the ways in which this major national resource has enhanced our understanding of Ireland, its people and its place in the world. The volume discusses the library's collection of over 1,400 manuscripts in the Irish language; the records of the nineteenth-century Ordnance Survey; rare scientific and natural history imprints; the incomparable Haliday Pamphlet and Tract collections; the rich Forde-Pigot collection of Irish airs; and thousands of antiquarian drawings covering the entire island. … celý popis
