On Friday night they officially lit the Christmas lights for the first time this year in Oxford. As part of the celebration, the museums were all open late into the evening. I've only been into the Divinity School once before - it's so beautiful!

El Códice Mendoza (o Códice Mendocino) es un códice de manufactura mexica, elaborado por el año 1540. Posterior a la Conquista de México, fue pintado por escribas mexicas quienes usaron el formato pictórico e iconográfico antiguo y añadido con descripciones escritas en español.
Es llamado así porque fue encargado por el primer virrey de la Nueva España, don Antonio de Mendoza, que desempeñó su cargo de 1535 a 1550, para enviar a Carlos I informes sobre los mexicas.
Finalizado, el códice partió de Veracruz en 1549 a España pero el barco fue apresado por piratas franceses, adquiriéndolo el cosmógrafo del rey francés que lo ensució hasta tres veces con su firma. Tras su muerte lo compró el geógrafo y embajador inglés Richard Hakiuyt que lo llevó a Londres. Pasó por varias manos hasta que fue legado a la Biblioteca Bodleian de la Universidad de Oxford, donde se encuentra ahora.

I have used the correct distortion tool in PS to adjust the perspective on this but couldn't bring it up anymore because I would have chopped the top off. The sky was such a beautiful colour yesterday but the sun was a tad bright but it was nice to capture this all the same.
This is *really* old school library signage.
Thomas Bodley wanted his library to be a republic of letters, and I think it says that somewhere on this sign. However, since I don't know Latin, I can't provide you with a full translation.
The Grade I Listed Clarendon Building, on the corner of Broad Street and Catte Street in Oxford, Oxfordshire.
The Clarendon Building is an early 18th-century neoclassical building of the University of Oxford. It is located next to the Bodleian Library and the Sheldonian Theatre and near the centre of the city.
Until the early 18th century the printing presses of the Oxford University Press (OUP) were in the basement of the Sheldonian Theatre. This meant that the compositors could not work when the Theatre was in use for ceremonies. The University therefore commissioned a new building to house the OUP.
Nicholas Hawksmoor produced a neoclassical design, construction started in 1711 and it was completed in 1715. The building was funded largely from the proceeds of the commercially successful History of the Great Rebellion by the 1st Earl of Clarendon, whose legacy later paid for the building of the Clarendon Laboratory in Oxford as well.
In the 1820s the OUP moved to new premises in Walton Street, after which the University used the Clarendon Building for administrative purposes. In 1975 the building was transferred to the Bodleian Library, for which it now provides office and meeting space for senior members of staff.
On 22 January 2009 student demonstrators occupied part of the Clarendon Building for seven hours, following similar protests at other UK universities. The demonstrators called for the University to condemn Israel's role in the 2008–2009 Israel–Gaza conflict and to cancel a lecture series at Balliol College inaugurated by Shimon Peres. They ended their protest after an agreement with the Senior Proctor.
