But why go to all that trouble for a copy of Caesar’s Gallic wars?</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>°ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵ Library, Oxford, BT1.127.9</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5><strong>°ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵ Library and Archives, Oxford</strong></h5> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-2 col-md-offset-2 col-sm-3 col-sm-offset-1"> <div class="field field--name-field-attachment field--type-file field--label-hidden field--items"> <div class="field--item"><span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf icon-before"><span class="file-icon"><span class="icon glyphicon glyphicon-file text-primary" aria-hidden="true"></span></span><span class="file-link"><a href="/sites/default/files/2021-12/16NCN3%20%282021%29%20Morgan%20on%20Julius%20Caesar.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=434269" title="Open file in new window" target="_blank" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom">16NCN3 (2021) Morgan on Julius Caesar.pdf</a></span><span class="file-size">424.09 KB</span></span></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> </div> </div> </div> </div> Sun, 26 Dec 2021 20:49:34 +0000 Christopher 2340 at
