The event will start with an introduction to the mediaeval manuscripts that St George's Chapel owns. After a brief refreshment break and a chance to view St George's manuscripts, Dr Tristan Franklinos will deliver an illustrated lecture on a unique literary, musical, and artistic manuscript which contains the text for Orff's Carmina Burana. This manuscript is not held at St George's. Dr Franklinos is a Lector in the Faculty of Classics, Oxford University. He is a specialist on mediaeval and renaissance Latin manuscripts.
All profits from the tickets support the Adopt a Book conservation scheme. The scheme helps us to preserve the unique collection of rare books in the Chapter Library of St George’s Chapel, repairing the damage of centuries of dust, dirt, insects, and the inevitable wear and tear of use.
