Senior librarian Rhian Isaac in Kirkstall Abbey with Leeds Central Library's precious copy of the Missale ad usum Cistercienci. Printed in Paris in 1516, the book is believed to have once belonged to the monks of Kirkstall Abbey and remarkably, it still contains notes and passages they delicately wrote by hand.
