In 1418 John de Newton, the church treasurer,
bequeathed to the Chapter a number of books, including
Bibles, commentaries, and patristical and historical works,
as well as Petrarch's De remediis utriusque fortunae.[1]
They were chained to the library desks, and were guarded
with horn and studs, to protect them from the consequences
of careless use by readers.
