Art History 705 - Grad Seminar in Medieval Art

This graduate seminar will introduce students to the history of manuscript illumination as well as printed illustration at the end of the Middle Ages, a period that experienced radical changes in the technology, function, and dissemination of the book. A number of theoretical perspectives and methodologies will inform our investigations, the opportunity to experience manuscripts and early printed books first-hand will deepen our analyses, and consideration of what "the book" is as a medium will carry us to the digital environment in which medieval objects are, nowadays, so often experienced.

Open to Graduate students only.
