    In 1791, the monastery of Mont Saint-Michel was plundered. About 4,000 books from the library end up in Avranches, then the capital of the district. Among them were 203 manuscripts*, some of them from the 9th century.
    Originals and copies are on display, including Plato's Timaeus and 9th-century fragments of Cicero's Oratore. These fragile masterpieces are exhibited in turn in groups of fifteen, in the Salle du TrΓ©sor of the Scriptorial.
