The University of Wales Trinity Saint David was originally founded in
1822 as St David’s College, Lampeter. It is now the oldest higher
education collegiate institution in Wales, and in its two hundred
years of history has been the recipient of many fascinating and rare
manuscripts, early printed books, beautifully illustrated volumes, and
rare publications from broadsheets to journals. These were largely
received through the generous donations of many benefactors, including
the institution’s founder Bishop Thomas Burgess of St Davids, with
the collection housed today in the Roderic Bowen Library on the
Lampeter campus. This fully illustrated volume contains a selection
from the many thousands of works spanning more than seven hundred
years, with short essays by scholars whose knowledge and appreciation
of the works are unrivalled, revealing the riches of what was once
known as ‘the greatest little library in Wales’.
