A MEDIEVAL manu­ script kept at Stonyhurst since 1837 is the centre­ piece of a major new exhi­ bition at Leeds Armouries.


The beautifully illustrated


copy of the Chronicles of John Froissart, a lively and well-informed account of the Hundred Years War, is taking pride of place in a specially-


designed “treasury” during the exhibition which opens on Saturday. Visitors can explore the


Froissart illustrations in vivid detail, and follow through a


theme or story in the (Chron­ icles, using interactive touch screens. Six “virtual” manuscripts,


photographed a t very high resolution, and never seen together before, have been created especially for this exhibition. “The Chronicles of Frois­


sa r t; from conflict to co­ operation” offers a unique view of the Hundred Years War between England and France and also demon­ strates modern day interna­ tional collaboration between the UK, France and Bel­ gium, the Royal Armouries Museum, the University of Sheffield and four major European libraries.

conservators have worked together with p h o to g ra ­ phers, designers and pro­ grammers to share the rich­ ness of these books with as broad a public as possible. Stonyhurst acquired the


Chronicles of Froissart in 1837 when benefactor James Arundell, 10th Baron War- dour, bequeathed his sub­ stantial library to the Col­ lege. The precious book had


been in his family for over 400 years, brought back from the Battle of Agincourt in


1415 by his ancestor Sir John


Arundell, a famous soldier in his day. Jan Graffius, Stonyhurst


Curator, said: “The Froissart Chronicles are exquisitely


illus trated and provide an im p o r ta n t contemporary view of the thoughts and views of some of the people who lived through the turbu­ lent war-torn years of the 14th century. “We are delighted to be


able to share their contents with a wider audience. “Our manuscript is


about contemporary w'itn Froissart himself, and its lav­ ish illumination and gold leaf decoration proves th a t it must have been a very valu­ able possession.” The exhibition also fea­


tu re s medieval arms and weapons, including some rare pieces never publicly dis­ played before, and explains how to make a manuscript and how people wrote in the Middle Ages. I t will run for four months


and will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Entry is free and events


will include workshops on manuscript illumination, illustrated talks by curators and invited speakers and medieval music concerts.

Act of bravado makes an impression on his wallet ^


A DRUNKEN man who jumped on the roof and bonnet of a car was showing off to his friends, but mag­ istrates told Matthew William Tanti that his act of bravado was going to prove expensive. Taiiti (22), of Simonstone Road, Sab-


^^Mi( ( 0 ) r d


den, pleaded guilty to causing £782 worth of damage to a car belonging to Michael Walker. He was fined £100 and irdered to pay £782 compensation and £110 costs.


Miss Catherine Allan (prosecuting)


said that a neighbour of Mr Walker was in his living room a t 1-20 a.m. when he heard voices outside. He looked out to see Tanti climb onto the roof of a Mit­ subishi Gallant, run across it and jump onto the bonnet. “There were other people who were


watching what he was doing and laugh­ ing,” said Miss Allan. Tanti then turned his attention to the


neighbour’s car, but as he jumped onto it he slipped and fell into the road.


“He went out and saw the group head­


ing across a field,” said Miss Allan. Footwear impressions and fingerprints implicated Tanti in the offence. Mr Simon Farnsworth (defending)


said Tanti and his friends were on their way back to a local beauty spot where they were camping out. “He thought he would impress the


ladies with his climbing skills,” said Mr Farnsworth. “With hindsight he realises it was a stupid thing to do.”

for 2008 BROCKHALL- based sports nutri­ tion company Sci­ ence in Sport has agreed to c o n t i ^ |

Slater and Tim Lawson have just returned from the first team get together in Spain, where as well as presenting to the riders, masseurs and medical staff, they also had time to fit in a training ride with the team.


CIVIC dignitar ies were among those raising funds for Christian Aid at a pre-Christ- mas coffee morning. The Mayor of the Ribble


Valley, Coun. Doreen Taylor, and the Mayor of Chtheroe, Coun. David Berryman, had both been invited to the event which raised £507.30. Also present was Mr David Hard­ man of Warnngton Chnstian


Aid. Visitors were encouraged to attend the fund-raiser by Town Crier Roland Hail­ wood. A number of large donations were received - one specifically for a disaster kit - and organisers thanked all those who helped raise money for the charity. The town cr:er is pictured


joining in the fun. (A081207/1)
