Samenvatting
This book tells the story of the Library's centenary exhibition of treasures from great libraries of the world, including the British Library, the Library of Congress, the Bibliotheque Nationale, and the National Libraries of China and Japan. Highlights include a Gutenberg Bible, a Caxton Chaucer, a Dead Sea Scroll, an Albert Einstein manuscript, a Mozart score, and some extraordinary illuminated manuscripts.

The book contains full-colour illustrations of many of the items in the exhibition and a commentary on each of them and their significance to the record of human civilisation, with information on the institutions lending the items.
