A quick correction - it is a statue of Eleanor Of Castile at the entrance!

Fascinating. It's a miracle that these books survived throughout history. Gives us a better glimpse of the lives of Medieval women.

In American parlance: You hit this one out of the park, Mr. Ayling. Kudos to your continued excellent content and for the British Library.

I've read "The Book of the City of Ladies" by Christine de Pisan, which is a wonderful work. Perhaps my favorite book by a Medieval author is by Margery Kemp: "Memoirs of a Medieval Woman" where she relates her life and amazing pilgrimage to the Holy Land. She was both reviled & revered by many people of her time, but she tells a compelling and lively tale in the first person of her experiences. Both of these are very readable. Both are available online at various sellers.

Thank you so much for this video! I am a career-long feminist academic, and yet I had never heard of Christine de Pizan! I am so happy to meet her and the other women writers you have introduced to us. The books themselves are beautiful and poignant. Your enthusiasm and reverence for antique books is infectious. I look forward to more such introductions.

The ping-pong ball story is why I always shake my head when people say that the Library of Alexandria losses is just an overblown tale - that most of the materials had copies elsewhere. There had to have been countless unique books, scripts, notes that had few or no other copies - just like this book that survived in a random cupboard drawer despite all odds.

Hi Tom, been following you since Jonkers and its been fascinating to watch you grow your new business. I'm planning on popping down after Christmas (i hate buying anything online, just how i am). All the best and keep up the great vids.

I have a Penguin paperback (printed 1987) copy of Margery Kempe's book so it is widely available after surviving at all. I used it in my study of l'histoire at university in California, USA years ago.

The manuscript of Revelations of Divine Love made its way from England to France with the daughters of St Thomas More, who left England after their father ws beheaded.

Question. (Just discover and very much enjoying your videos). Have you any plans to make a video for those wanting to start book dealing in a small way, with modest capital?

Childbirth still as dangerous to millions and millions of women and babies today in so many places as it were in medieval time...Women and babies die every in childbirth day as they are too poor to go to hospital (and in many cases no hospital to go to)

Excuse the observation, but I find your waving hands in pieces to camera distracting. I have to watch them twice to make sure I get both your personality and the content of what you're saying. Still worth it 🙂
