Taylor Institution

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The  Taylor Institution  (also known as Taylorian ) is Oxford University's library dedicated to the study of European languages. The building also has lecture rooms used by the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages ​​at Oxford University. The Taylor Institution was founded in 1845, largely from an estate of the esteemed architect Sir Robert Taylor (1714–1788). Modern European languages ​​were not offered as a subject until 1903. Since the Bodleian did not have enough space, the Taylorian was first used as a magazine.
