At the vanguard of the Counter-Reformation, the library gradually adapted to its new role as an instrument of papal policy and hub of ecclesiastical reform. The lectures locate the Vatican Library within a constellation of new state-sponsored collections in early modern Europe. Framed around the vibrant fresco cycles that graced the new library quarters constructed under Pope Sixtus V (1585-1590), the lectures visit specific episodes in sixteenth century cultural history to probe the dynamic of script and print within the space of the Vatican Library. Particular attention is given to the individuals, practices, and working tools that intersected with libraries in this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"the-remaining-lyell-lectures-2017-will-take-place-at-5pm-on\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The remaining Lyell lectures 2017&nbsp;will take place at 5pm on:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Thursday May 11 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk\/whatson\/whats-on\/upcoming-events\/2017\/may\/an-eternal-archive\">An eternal archive<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tuesday May 16 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk\/whatson\/whats-on\/upcoming-events\/2017\/may\/scribes-in-the-city\">Scribes in the city<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thursday May 18 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk\/whatson\/whats-on\/upcoming-events\/2017\/may\/popes-and-printers\">Urbs et orbis.
