Parker Library, Corpus Christi College
The Parker Library is the rare books and manuscripts library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. It is known throughout the world due to its invaluable collection of over 600 manuscripts, particularly medieval texts, the majority of which were bequeathed to the College by Archbishop Matthew Parker.
==Collection==
The library houses a significant proportion of all extant Anglo-Saxon manuscripts, including the earliest copy of the ''Anglo-Saxon Chronicle'' (c. 890), the Old English Bede, and King Alfred’s translation of ''Pastoral Care'' (a manual for priests), as well as the Latin St. Augustine Gospels, one of the oldest bound books in existence. The collection also includes key Middle English texts, such as the ''Ancrene Wisse'', the ''Brut Chronicle'' and Geoffrey Chaucer's ''Troilus and Criseyde''. Other items include medieval travelogues and maps, apocalypses, bestiaries, one of the oldest pieces of extant written music, and illuminated manuscripts, such as the ''Bury Bible'' (c. 1135) and the ''Chronica Majora'' by Matthew Paris (c. 1250).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The Parker Library Collections... )〕 A full, alphabetised catalogue is available (here ).
Its most prestigious possession is the St Augustine Gospels, believed to have been brought to England by the Augustinian mission, sent by Pope Gregory I to convert the people of Britain in AD 598. The Gospels are still used in the enthronement of the Archbishops of Canterbury today and are transported to and from Canterbury for this occasion by the Master and college representatives.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Corpus Christi Website - Parker Library Collections )〕
Although exhibitions of some of the materials are periodically held, access to the full collection of manuscripts held in Corpus Christi College is limited to scholars. The public are able to see some of the treasures of the library at open days, notably during the annual ''Open Cambridge'' event,〔http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/opencambridge/oc2010programme.pdf〕 or, since the addition of the vault and new learning facilities on the ground floor has freed up room in the original library, on private tours.
