In 1973 he went up to Bangor to read English, graduating in 1976 with a First and the John F. Danby Memorial Prize. He stayed on to complete an MA and then went up to Oxford in 1977 to begin research for a DPhil on 15th- century English manuscript production. He quickly established himself as a figure of precocious authority, particularly gifted at identifying scribal hands and keenly interested in English manuscript illumination. He gave a number of provocative scholarly papers during this period; but they, like his thesis, remain unpublished at his death."}, "birth_date": "1955", "death_date": "1997", "remote_ids": {"viaf": "94975457"}, "links": [{"title": "Obituary", "url": "https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/obituary-jeremy-griffiths-1237212.html", "type": {"key": "/type/link"}}], "latest_revision": 2, "revision": 2, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2008-04-29T15:03:11.581851"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2024-02-15T05:18:47.369783"}}
