NEW BOOK: SCRIPTA MIRABILIA

Please find attached your formal invitation to the celebratory event launching the publication of Scripta Mirabilia -- a compendium of homage to Dr. Maria Inmaculada Socias i Batet, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Art History, University of Barcelona.

Time and Place: Sala Ramon y Cajal, Historical Building of the University of Barcelona, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, Wednesday, June 15, 2022, at 6:00 p.m. (CET).

This long-awaited tome of over 700 pages, put together as a labor of love by former students, features more than fifty submissions ranging from personal reminiscences and reflections to serious art-historical studies, offered by her many admirers, associates and fellow scholars in the wide variety of fields of activity, interest and achievement with which Dr. Socias has come to be known, ranging from Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque graphic works to archival and bibliographical investigations, architecture, decorative arts, collectors and collecting, numismatics and philatelics. It is a multi-lingual festschrift with a little something for almost all readers.

A product of the academic press of the famous medieval Benedictine Abbey of Montserrat, although not yet released, the work is already being widely offered by book sellers at about €45 (or $50).

Respectfully submitted, with fond regards,

Robert W. Hoge
(colleague, friend, partner and husband of Dr. Socias)
