Ranging from a thirteenthcentury English Bible and a fifteenth-century German Office of the Dead to a copy of Juvenal’s Satires made in mid-1400s Italy, these literary and artistic works provided experiential learning for several hundred U of G students this semester.

Other visitors from seniors to school children also had handson access to the medieval European manuscripts.

“That’s what so unique about this – touching and turning the pages and getting a closeup look,” says history professor Susannah Ferreira, whose students worked with the manuscripts.

U of G was the second institution in Canada to borrow part of the collection of Les Enluminures – a Chicago rare book dealer – under the company’s manuscripts in the curriculum program.
