This illustration from a late eighteenth-century Sanskrit manuscript on the characteristics and care of horses is featured in one of our new arrivals for June: ‘The History of Veterinary Medicine and the Animal-Human Relationship’ – from ancient Chinese ‘horse priests’ to ‘snail gardens’ supplying modern French cuisine. Other subjects this month are, religion; history, including a study of the ‘Cold Rush’ to the Arctic; and literature, with a volume of essays on Gerard Manley Hopkins’s poetic legacy. The June catalogue is available now, by post or online at https://www.psbooks.co.uk/catalogue

When the fourth-century basilica of St Paul’s Outside the Walls (of Rome) burned down in 1823, the survival of its Gothic ciborium was hailed as a miracle. Two years later Pope Leo XII ordered the church rebuilt as a replica of the old basilica, in which the ciborium now stands. The story of this remarkable – and very expensive – project is told in ‘Rebuilding St Paul’s Outside the Walls’, one of the selection of art and architecture books featured in Postscript’s May catalogue. Other subjects this month are travellers, medieval history and Cardinal Newman. The catalogue is out now, in the post or online: https://www.psbooks.co.uk/catalogue
