Missing manuscript acquired
Manchester University's John Rylands Library has acquired the missing seventh volume of the Colonna Missal, a service book made for the Sistine Chapel in Rome. It had held the other six volumes in its collection since 1901.
The work, one of the most important 16th-century religious manuscripts, was acquired for £189,000 with an Art Fund grant.
