Understanding the Medieval Book
On Monday and Tuesday 26-27 March 2012 the University of South Carolina will sponsor a series of FREE seminars on medieval books. The sessions will take place in the new Hollings Special Collections Library and use the university’s 130 medieval books and fragments (see www.scmanuscripts.org). The 2012 seminars will be conducted by Dr. Scott Gwara, Professor of English at the University of South Carolina. Program applications can be found at this link (deadline 15 December) : http://cdh.sc.edu/mslink/ (… scroll down to the bottom of the page).
Librarians, undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty will come away with meaningful introductions to missals, Books of Hours, breviaries, and bibles, with special attention given to relevant online resources. \”Understanding the Medieval Book\” is a hands-on program with medieval manuscript codices acquired recently, including an English pocket bible, ca. 1240, and an Augsburg missal, ca. 1350. Teams will be assigned manuscripts for joint study and presentation. Last year’s inaugural session featured Christopher de Hamel and a blog of these seminars can be found here (thank you, Rick Ring at Trinity College, CT) : http://commons.trincoll.edu/watkinson/2011/04/
