Above the public entrance of Armagh Robinson Library there is a Greek inscription, which has been translated as the ‘healing place of the soul’.
On Wednesday 7 September 2022 the Library hosted a talk, I Met a Traveller from an Antique Land: There and Back Again’, in the Long Room, exploring the source of this motto which Archbishop Richard Robinson chose for the Library he erected in Armagh in 1771.
The speaker was Rt Revd Dr Alan Harper, the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, as well as Chairman of the Library’s Governors and Guardians, from 2007 to 2012.
