Foundation. With an Educational Bursary of UKP15,750 pa, pro rata

a central component of the internship. In addition, the successful

manuscripts, including 17th-century Persian manuscripts as well as
Western medieval and Renaissance manuscripts

A recent, recognised qualification in manuscript and book
conservation is essential for this internship. Experience with
