OT: Medieval Manuscript Culture & Production Webinar

Not fine press related exactly (but maybe as a precursor thereof), but the Book Club of California is presenting a free webinar on Monday evening, Pacific Time, on March 14th that I thought might be of interest to some of you.

The description is as follows:

Explore the physical materials, production process, ownership, and readership of medieval manuscripts from 800-1500 in Western Europe in this online presentation. Participants will learn about parchment-making, medieval ink and pigment ingredients, methods for illumination and decoration, and the culture of scriptoria with a special focus on women scribes. The lecture will also give participants the experience of examining the script and decoration of digitized European manuscripts in a virtual setting.

A live online presentation by Kathryn Brunet, lecturer, palaeographer, and special collections librarian.

>1 jsg1976: I had already signed up earlier, but I'm glad to see your announcement. I hope more folks take advantage of this webinar.

It takes place in less than 24 hours, everybody!

Watching this now and they seem to be recording the webinar so hopefully it will be available for later viewing for those who have missed out.
