Some screenshots from the video that break the most stereotypes about the Byzantines, namely the one according to which they ignored their ancient Greek culture.

For example, the three figures in front of the black background are "Hellen Aristotle", "Hellen Plutarch", and "Hellen Aeschylus" (ΕΛΛΗΝ ΑΡΙΣΤΟΤΕΛΗΣ, ΕΛΛΗΝ ΠΛΟΥΤΑΡΧΟΣ, ΕΛΛΗΝ ΑΙΣΧΥΛΟΣ)

Sneak Peek! Curating a Rare Art Book Exhibit

Special Collections has hired two curators, Heather Carroll and Maya Powell, to curate an exhibit (opening this fall!) highlighting the library's rare art book collection. The Art Book Collection includes over 3,500 books featuring all art forms from around the world, spanning all eras. Most of the books in this collection were produced between 1850 and 1950 and are in the folio format--loose leaves, or pages, tied together in a portfolio. Many have been carefully hand-printed, stenciled or hand-colored.

Here's a peek at some of the treasures they've found in the vaults, many of which will be included in the exhibit.

Visit Cargill Gallery at Minneapolis Central Library from October 4 to November 29, 2023 to see Storied Leaves: Unveiling the Library's Rare Art Book Collection.

I made a commonplace book containing my favorite quotes discovered in 2022, using the inkvent inks. The only thing to be done is to finish looking up all the attributions and calligraph them, then I can start binding it!

Paper, we have lots of paper, and lots of materials that focus on paper, in the special collections. One of our favorite of these items is The Art of Pulp Painting, a folio edition from 2005 published by Hand Papermaking. Pulp painting is a process that uses pigmented paper pulp as a painting medium and this folio has examples of pulp painting by 18 different artists, including these five here..

Tried the cheddar cheese Folios today. They weren't too bad. I made a quick wrap with ham and guacamole. I'm thinking of experimenting with them a little more though to see what else I can use them for. Any ideas?

Yo creo que a partir de los 100 los que pongan de más son.
