Magnificent: Seven Bindings from Our Collection of Greek Manuscripts

Join us for a talk by Julia Miller about her experience describing and documenting the bindings on 100 Greek manuscripts held in the U-M Library's Special Collections Research Center. Julia will show us what “magnificent” can mean with regard to the binding and repair of some of our oldest books; her presentation will be accompanied by a display of seven exemplars from our collection of Greek manuscripts. The event takes place on Tuesday 9 June at 5:30 pm in the Special Collections Research Center on the sixth floor of the Hatcher Library. Refreshments will be provided.

Catherine Project

Just wondering if any other tumblfolk were involved in the classes organized by the Catherine Project?

I'm currently doing the reading for my third class, a discussion of Berekeley's "Principles of Human Knowldge" It's a brief, bur deep, dive into that slightly messy area between language/linguistics/epistomolgy. For anyone with some time, this program might be worth looking into
