What a wonderful blessing to have accessibility to these beautiful treasures.

Thank you for a beautifully expressed and informative video tour of Winchester College library, which I have had the privilege to visit on a few occasions in the past. I am an old paleographer - that is, I am now very old !!!!! Although I was then based in Oxford, the journey to Winchester always proved to be more than worthwhile, and this video has reminded me why - so many thanks indeed :)

Thank you for this tour. Stunningly beautiful facilities and books.

Wonderful!

this is a great episode about the beautiful collection at Winchester College. thanks

Bravo! Congrats to Brandon and the Orchestra

What a beautiful College and library.. I love medieval architecture and old books like this

Loved the tour.

That is absolutely wonderful.

Such an elegant presentation of these important legacy libraries.

Wow these are incredible. Thank you so much for allowing us to visit virtually!

Brilliant Adam, thank you

Thank you. I really like to learn more.

Astonishing

I appear to be the first to view so I shall say 'well done' and to state how pleasing it is to have such a series based on the School's resources.

Magnifica esecuzione!

18:50 Look at the quality of the printing on the First Folio - 500 years old and it's more beautiful than a 1930s hardcover.

Thank you for showing us some fine pieces. I'd love to see more.

Delightful concert!

Comprehensive presentation, well documented ! Thank you and looking forward for more !

They are all excellent musicians and at a professionaly standard. But the top alto has a timbre to his voice which is truly remarkable - and that is in a good way. Wonderful.

Some old favourites there which I've sung in my mis-spent youth!

Las Cases is not the hero one imagines. Sepulveda, his opponent in the Valladolid Debate, was as much concerned by the wellbeing of the Indians as Las Cases. Sepulveda thought that putting an end to human sacrifices, cannibalism and (royal) incest justified the invasion of the Americas. I don't know many contemporary Westerners who wouldn't support military intervention against a regime that would do these abominations. We are all Sepulvedians !

Wonderful!

This type of history is breathtaking. I have to know more about the book pillows. Are those common in the rare book library world. They make perfect sense for these large delicate books. Are they also used on smaller books? Would they have been common centuries ago as well when the books were being read?

Really appreciate this!

What a magnificent insight into this college. Brilliant and enthralling.

This is a wonderful story--unusual, but certainly not as rare as many might think here in America. And it shows how extremely valuable a good education is for ALL; something that, as an African American especially, I wish our government would work rigorously to ensure!

This is a fabulous collection and so much has been preserved. Thanks for the tour.

I hated reading and books when I was younger.. its fascinating as I get older how much I watch things like this with envy

Very nice episode! Very informative. Thank you for sharing

This is amazing

Okay... I just got to the celestial globe part and I’m in love!

Awesome! I've been to Winchester in 2012. Almost got frozen in the city, but I visited the magnificent cathedral. Unfortunately, I couldn't see these incredible collections. Maybe next time!

Lyrics, sourced from Worcester College and Stephen Farr's "This Christmas Night" (Resonus Classics): As Joseph was a-walking He heard an Angel sing: “This night there shall be born Our Heavenly King; He neither shall be born In housen nor in hall, Nor in the place of Paradise, But in an ox’s stall.” Noel, Noel, Noel. As Joseph was a-walking He heard an Angel sing: “This night there shall be born Our Heavenly King; He neither shall be clothed In in purple nor in pall, But all in fair linen As wear babies all.” Noel, Noel, Noel. As Joseph was a-walking He heard an Angel sing: “This night there shall be born Our Heavenly King; He neither shall be rocked In silver nor in gold, But in a wooden cradle That rocks on the mold.” Noel, Noel, Noel. As Joseph was a-walking He heard an Angel sing: “This night there shall be born Our Heavenly King; He neither shall be christened In white wine nor in red, But in the fair spring water As we were christened.” Noel, Noel, Noel.

What a lovely carol, new to me and beautifully performed! Hard to hear all the words, however.

Wonderful! From an OW, in New Zealand.
