Lines of Thought: Communication

From the creator

Cambridge University Library is celebrating its 600th anniversary with an exhibition of priceless treasures communicating 4,000 years of human thought. To celebrate, we have made six films on the six distinct themes featured in Lines of Thought. Our first film looks at revolutions in communications, taking us from 3000-year-old Chinese oracle bones to Penguin paperbacks of the 20th century – via the Gutenberg Bible and the earliest known Scottish manuscript. These are the words that changed the world.
