[EKStationers] Fwd: Medieval Manuscripts Seminar at U of South Carolina

[woodwindy]

I thought this announcement might be of interest... this is a series
of free, hands-on seminars on medieval manuscripts. See the link below
for more information!

            -Sabine

"What: What is a breviary? A missal? A Book of Hours? How were these
books organized? Illustrated? Used? “Understanding the Medieval Book”
will explore the layout and function of four important medieval books:
Books of Hours, breviaries, missals, and bibles. Participants in this
seminar will acquire a fundamental understanding of these medieval
books and, by extension, be able to catalogue, publicize, and exploit
them in designing courses on language, literature, history, history of
the book, art history, and a host of other humanities subjects.
Participants will use USC's collection of approximately 130 medieval
manuscripts and fragments.

Where: The Irvin Dept. of Rare Books and Special Collections, Hollings
Library, University of South Carolina, Columbia. Participants will
enjoy working a newly opened facility with integrated projection for
broadcasting digital surrogates. The Hollings Library is central to
campus, which is located in the center of the state’s capital city.

When: 26-27 March 2012: 9 am - 4 pm. Each seminar lasts three hours,
with breaks in between and a scheduled lunch hour."
