Our penultimate book exhibition and workshop took place at the Bodleian, in the Clarendon building. This structure was built in the early 18th century by a pupil of Christopher Wren to house the Oxford University Press. The press vacated the building in the 19th century, and since 1975 it has been part of the library system. Again, we saw and discussed many interesting books and manuscripts. I spent much of my time looking at a copy of Calvin's Institutes which was owned by Isaac Casaubon (1559-1614), the famous French classical scholar who lived for many years in England. This book is remarkable because of the extensive handwritten notations of Casaubon. The notations provide a way for us to study how an important text was read by one of the most learned men of his time.
