  • 200 years on, it’s time to bring will writing into the 21st century

    Opinion

    SALISBURY, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 14: A old pen and ink bottle is seen as members of the public visit the library at Salisbury Cathedral on September 14, 2016 in Salisbury, England.

Although the room housing the library at Salisbury Cathedral was built in 1445 the origins of the library stretch back much further and still contains a large collection of books that were created by the scribes of the old cathedral in the late 11th century which constitutes the largest collection of manuscripts of the Norman period still with its original owner. Today the Library holds approximately 8,000 volumes dating from the ninth century to the present day, with the majority of books being theological and literary texts with further examples of a wide range of other subjects including science, mathematics and medicine.
