4b. Bonus: Timothy Perry on The Book of Peace.
There’s the importance of the text and the writer, but also the importance of
the physical object and all the things you can do with the physical object
that you can’t do if you only have digital accuess or [no] access at all.
We met up with Timothy Perry , medieval manuscript and early book
librarian at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book
Library at the University of Toronto.
The Fisher is excited to announce the acquisition of a rare and lavish
medieval manuscript of The Book of Peace, written by Christine de Pizan (whose
classic The Book of the City of Ladies we
discussed in our last episode). Tim was kind enough to show the newly acquired
book to us and tell us about its many charms.
Show Notes.
A detailed description of the manuscript (with
images!) from the Fisher Rare Book Library.
An article about the acquisition in U of T News.
The Book of Peace, translated by Karen Green,
Constance Mews, and Janice Pinder. (Open access!)
An article about Pierre
Bergé, a previous owner of the
manuscript.
