Hi friends! In addition to the newly curated exhibition celebrating Book Culture in the Mediterranean, there will be a short presentation followed by a wine and cheese reception. The event will take place on Wednesday 28 November, for the McGill Medievalists second annual rare books workshop. Last year our workshop on medical manuscripts in the Osler Library of the History of Medicine was very well attended. This year, Cecily Hilsdale (McGill, Art History and Communication Studies), Jennifer Garland (McGill, Liaison Librarian, Art History and Communication Studies), and Sean Swanick (Liaison Librarian, Islamic Studies) will lead us in a viewing of the exhibition: “Book Culture in the Medieval Mediterranean”. We will meet at 5:30 pm (slightly later than normal) on the 4th floor of McGill’s McLennan Library (the location of Rare Books and Special Collections). A wine and cheese reception will follow.
