Marks of Genius: Masterpieces from the Collections of the Bodleian Libraries
Presenting 130 treasures now preserved in Oxford, this volume examines how the idea of 'genius' has been understood through history. Manuscripts and printed books from around the world illustrate the revolutionary ideas of individuals as well as the beautiful results of artistic collaboration. Also featured are ephemera and artefacts associated with geniuses (Mendelssohn's conducting batons, a portrait of Galileo) and material that was donated to the Bodleian (books from Christopher Wren's library, Dorothy Hodgkin's hand-drawn insulin map).
