Resumo: | Over 100 libraries are formed to support the scholarly and teaching activities through the University of Oxford and its colleges. Many libraries were erected, have fallen, and survived within three historical periods. In medieval Oxford, Roman Catholicism was regnant in libraries when Oxford became the leading centre of Christian scholarship. During the Reformation, the Anglican monopoly shaped the libraries and their collections. From the 19th century, when the rise of secularism swept across Oxford, the University has developed into a modern multi-disciplinary national university by ending the exclusiveness to Anglicanism. A new religious pluralism had created greater freedom to different Christian denominations to relocate or open theological libraries in Oxford. This trend continues to this day. |
