Durham University Seeks Missing Books

Durham University has issued a new call for the return of its rare books and manuscripts stolen in 1998 along with the now-returned First Folio.

Among the still-missing items are "a manuscript by the medieval political writer Egidius Romanus, and a volume containing three works on English history with maps - Michael Drayton's Poly-Olbion (1612); William Slatyer's The History of Great Britanie (1621) and Matthew Stevenson's Florus Britannicus (1662)."
