Any E-Sylum readers are pure book collectors who include antique numismatic books in their libraries might be interested in attending the Rare Book School. I picked up a leaflet on it at the International Congress
on Medieval Studies at Kalamazoo last week. Here's what it says:
Join book enthusiasts from around the globe to study the history of manuscripts this summer at RBS!
The Book in the Manuscript Era, Ramond Clemens, Yale, Yale 10-15 June.
Advanced Seminar in Medieval Manuscript Studies, Barbara A. Shailor, Yale, Yale 10-15 June
Introduction to Paleography, 800-1500, Consuelo Dutschke, Columbia University, University of Virginia 8-13 July
This year's classes are pretty esoteric--advanced numismatic bibliophiles seem to be content with the earliest PRINTED numismatic book, not even thinking that there might be older numismatic manuscripts--but the Rare
Book School covers different subjects every year, so it might be wise to bookmark their website.
Rare Book School is a multi-venue event. -Editor
