Medieval Manuscripts: from Book of Kells to Book of Hours

Three credits · Undergraduate

Medieval manuscripts often took years of effort to complete. How were these works of art and scholarship created, and by whom? This course focuses on how medieval manuscripts were put together, and on how to transcribe manuscript texts in various languages spoken on the British Isles and Ireland, including Gaelic, Old English, French, Welsh, and Latin (no knowledge of these languages required).
