Talk
Address: 6 The Close, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 2EJ Telephone: Box office: 01722 656555 Event: The Sarum Master Bible: A Talk by Michelle P Brown - 7.30pm - Canon Professor Michelle Brown, medieval manuscripts expert, will share her thoughts on the recent return of the 13th-Century Sarum Master Bible to Salisbury. Following a successful fundraising campaign, Friends of the Nations’ Libraries purchased the Bible from a private owner, via Sotheby’s, and donated it to Salisbury Cathedral. The Sarum Master Bible is a manuscript (handwritten) Bible in Latin, written and illustrated probably in Salisbury in the 1240s or 1250s. It is one of a small number of manuscripts that were illustrated by one of the leading English artists of the time, who today is known to scholars as the Sarum Master, or Sarum Illuminator. No details are known about the artist’s life, but there is considerable evidence that he or she was working in or around Salisbury.

At its heart is Jude’s own story: how songs helped her wrestle with the grief of losing her father at age five; concoct her own sense of self as a lonely adolescent; sky-rocket her relationships, both real and imagined, in the flushes of early womanhood, propel her own journey into working life, adulthood and parenthood, and look to the future.
