I wanted to share some fantastic images that have come through the Digital Imaging Unit via general random digitization requests.

Last is another two examples of amazing printers marks. The first is from the Title page of “Iuris utriusque traditio” shelfmark: RB.F.232. and the last one is from “Tyndales Works 1573” shelfmark: M H 3\/2 housed at New College.<\/p>\n
