Art of the Book
This course will offer an integrative approach to the study of illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. We'll begin with a unit on the invention and early history of the book, but the main focus of study will be 1350-1500, from the rise of the commercial lay manuscript industry in urban centers in Europe to the production of incunabula, early printed books. We will study books made for devotion, instruction, entertainment, and pleasure, including sacred and secular texts such as Books of Hours and vernacular literature, legends, and histories.
