1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Indiana State Library
Indiana State Library, History Reference Room
This program will focus on a
fourteenth-century medieval Bible held at the Indiana State Library (ISL). This
lecture will investigate the origin of the book, including production
techniques, as well as and the manuscript’s movements from Medieval Spain to Indiana.
In particular, the manuscript’s rich decorative program and beautiful
illuminations will be examined in the larger context of medieval Bibles.
Those with an interest in
book history, Bible History, and Middle Ages will be most welcome. The
Bible will also be on display during and after the program.

Marcia Caudell
