Treasures: The Special Collections of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David

This volume offers a rare glimpse into seven centuries of book history through a curated selection of volumes, many of which are extremely rare or believed to be unique surviving copies. Spanning from medieval manuscripts to early printed works, this collection showcases the physical evolution of books as artifacts, celebrating the material culture of reading and publishing across different eras. The curation reflects deep archival research and presents tangible pieces of literary heritage that have endured through time.

What makes this collection particularly compelling is its connection to the University of Wales Trinity Saint David's bicentenary, positioning these books within an institutional legacy of preservation and scholarship. Readers with interests in bibliography, material culture, or the history of publishing will find this volume especially valuable, as it provides access to rare items that would otherwise be inaccessible to the public. The result is a thoughtful tribute that honors both the artifacts themselves and the institution dedicated to safeguarding them for future generations.
