Rare Book School welcomes applications for its upcoming course,
"15th-Century Books in Print and Manuscript," which will be taught by
Paul Needham (Scheide Librarian, Princeton University) and William
Noel (Curator of Manuscripts and Rare Books, Walters Art Museum). The
course will take place January 10-14, 2011 at the Walters Art
Museum in Baltimore, Maryland.

"15th-Century Books in Print and Manuscript" is one of the gems of
RBS's course offerings, and it is not offered during the School's
summer sessions in Charlottesville. The class operates on the premise
that the use of a wide variety of evidence–paper, parchment, type,
script, rubrication and illumination, bindings, ownership marks, and
annotations–can shed light both on questions of analytical
bibliography and on wider questions of book distribution, provenance,
and use. There will be a fairly detailed discussion and analysis of
both good and bad features in existing reference works on manuscripts
and early printing. The class is intended to serve as a general
introduction to bibliographical analysis. Its examples and methods are
primarily derived from c15 manuscripts and printed books at the
Walters Art Museum.
