Pretty 'Kitty': A Book That Changed the World

Over the course of centuries, medieval manuscripts have endured terrible plights: they have been looted by Vikings ... dunked in water as a curative for ailing cattle ... burned beyond legibility ... even dismembered and repurposed. While none of these, fortunately, are true of the fifteenth-century Hours of Catherine of Cleves, it has suffered from the machinations of a nefarious nineteenth-century dealer. But in the early 1960s, this obscure manuscript captured the attention of scholars and -- thanks to a smitten publisher -- the public at large and literally changed the course of art history and manuscript studies. Join us on Saturday, January 20, for an introduction to this one-of-a-kind gem .... It might very well change how you, too, view medieval manuscripts!

A little about della hutchison

As a highly esteemed calligrapher and illuminator, she understands the technicalities of our craft and can talk to the details so that we can learn how to reproduce the text and artwork.
