ARTS 315 - Leaves of Gold: The Medieval History of Books


Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours

New course added 08.02.10.

From 500 to 1500, the hand-written codex operated at the heart of medieval culture. Texts, copied and recopied over hundreds of years, were important conveyors of many types of knowledge – about history, religion, science and proper behavior to name but a few – for which pictures served as amplification, commentary and/or explanation. This course traces the history of medieval manuscripts and will include visits to Special Collections to view actual manuscripts.
