425 years

2009 sees the 425th anniversary of the printing in 1584 of the first book by a practising University Printer, fifty years after Henry VIII granted to Cambridge a royal charter to print 'all manner of books'. In 2009 the University itself marks 800 years since the arrival in 1209 of the first scholars in the city. Cambridge University Press and the University of Cambridge join in celebrating their respective foundations by commemorating the books, people, ideas and achievements that have emerged from this shared history and which continue to inspire and transform the world.
