The Director of Dublin's Chester Beatty Library, Fionnuala Croke, has delved into the Library's incredible collection of artworks and artefacts from across the globe to pick her favourite items for a stunning new book.
Here, Croke has selected over 30 works, including her own personal favourites, from the earliest known copies of the Four Gospels to Renaissance manuscripts, Islamic calligraphy and Japanese woodblock prints - as well as some rare items which show the variety and wonder of the CBL collection.
