> "15th-Century Books in Print and Manuscript" is one of the gems of
> RBS's course offerings, and it is not offered during the School's
> summer sessions in Charlottesville. The class operates on the premise
> that the use of a wide variety of evidence–paper, parchment, type,
> script, rubrication and illumination, bindings, ownership marks, and
> annotations–can shed light both on questions of analytical
> bibliography and on wider questions of book distribution, provenance,
> and use. There will be a fairly detailed discussion and analysis of
> both good and bad features in existing reference works on manuscripts
> and early printing. The class is intended to serve as a general
> introduction to bibliographical analysis. Its examples and methods are
> primarily derived from c15 manuscripts and printed books at the
> Walters Art Museum.
