In this small book Stanley Gillam tells the fascinating story of the original construction of the Bodleian Library building -- and the two rooms inside it: The Divinity School and Duke Humfrey's Library -- and of the problems posed at that time by the lack of adequate finances and by the elaborations of over-ambitious master masons.
