SUMMARY:Bookbinding in Works of Art: A survey of historical evidence in medieval and early modern art
DESCRIPTION:Calling all bibliophiles: this talk offers a brief archaeology 
 of books in European Medieval and Renaissance art\, presenting beautiful 
 bindings\, clever clasps\, and other fabulous “furniture” (such as 
 hinges and medallions). Amply illustrated with art and diagrams\, this talk 
 offers a fascinating overview of the variety of forms of the codex as 
 depicted in the jewellike altarpieces and other paintings of the period\, 
 revealing otherwise elusive evidence of craft techniques and reading 
 practices.\n\nIncludes pop-up exhibit of historic bookbindings from the 
 Rubenstein Library collection.\n\n \n\nRSVP at 
 duke.is/PHI-bookbinding\n\n\nSpeaker: Barbara Ellertson\, Founder\, Books 
 as Symbols in Medieval and Renaissance Art (BASIRA)\, an online database 
 hosted by the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies\, University of 
 Pennsylvania.\n\nSponsored by the Publishing Humanities Initiative of the 
 John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute and the Duke Libraries. 
 Co-sponsored by Triangle Book Arts.
