A rare first folio of Shakespeare's plays is available to scholars for the first time for 40 years. It is one of two historical literary texts loaned anonymously to York 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ's library and archives for three years. The other is an even rarer manuscript of the 14th-century poem Piers Plowman , by William Langland. Photograph by LORNE CAMPBELL/GUZELIAN
