Reflections: Modern Mirrors of Medieval Life
OR, The Medieval Manuscripts In Philadelphia And Why They Matter Today
With Dr. Dot Porter
Bibliotheca Philadelphiensis is a recently-completed CLIR-funded project to digitize and catalog 475 medieval and Renaissance manuscripts from Philadelphia-area institutions. To celebrate the project, Dot Porter is curating an exhibition in Spring 2020 at the Free Library of Philadelphia. In her talk, Porter will introduce the BiblioPhilly project and discuss the plan for the exhibit, which has the aim of bringing medieval manuscripts closer to a modern audience.
