Ariel and Kirsty handle with appropriate care

Inside the interior room of Jesus College Old library. In this room is housed the Jesuan collection, as well as the Malthus library. The Keeper of the Old library, Dr Stephen Heath, graciously gave us a tour of the breathtaking building and collections and provided selections of rare material, including John Eliot's translation of the bible into Algonquin.
