Explore the development of the manuscript tradition in the Middle Ages as it went from the Carolingian, to Gothic, and then to the humanist styles of production. The manuscript of the monasteries established conventions that were altered to meet new needs first for students in the Universities and then for the mendicant friars traveling throughout Europe. Come and see how beauty and functionality meet in the production of the written word over the course of 500 years of history. All are welcome!
