The Cult of the Book

In this Inaugural Lecture of the Friends of the University of York Library and Archives Professor Cummings will re-examine 400 years of the relationship between the worship of idols and the worship of books, and the way we view books both as 'things' and as visual signs.

The Friends of the University of York Library and Archives is an important initiative which will help to develop facilities and collections, and in return members will enjoy lectures, access and other benefits.
