The</span><br><span>course will take place between January 10-14, 2011 at the Walters Art</span><br><span>Museum in Baltimore, Maryland.</span><br><span></span><br><span>"15th-Century Books in Print and Manuscript" is one of the gems of</span><br><span>RBS's course offerings, and it is not offered during the School's</span><br><span>summer sessions in Charlottesville. The class operates on the premise</span><br><span>that the use of a wide variety of evidence–paper, parchment, type,</span><br><span>script, rubrication and illumination, bindings, ownership marks, and</span><br><span>annotations–can shed light both on questions of analytical</span><br><span>bibliography and on wider questions of book distribution, provenance,</span><br><span>and use. There will be a fairly detailed discussion and analysis of</span><br><span>both good and bad features in existing reference works on manuscripts</span><br><span>and early printing. The class is intended to serve as a general</span><br><span>introduction to bibliographical analysis. Its examples and methods are</span><br><span>primarily derived from c15 manuscripts and printed books at the</span><br><span>Walters Art Museum.</span><br><span></span><br><span>For a full course description, please visit</span><br><span><<a href="http://www.rarebookschool.org/courses/history/h25/">http://www.rarebookschool.org/courses/history/h25/</a>>.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>-- </span><br><span>Barbara Heritage</span><br><span>Assistant Director & Curator of Collections</span><br><span>Rare Book School</span><br><span>114 Alderman Library / POB 400103</span><br><span>University of Virginia</span><br><span>Charlottesville, VA 22904-4103</span><br><span></span><br><span>Phone 434-924-8851</span><br><span>Fax 434-924-8824</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
