LEARNING with a GRAIN of PSALT

PDF of Learning with a Grain of Psalt

Bill Lenville loved books. So much so that he amassed a collection of thousands, many of them rare. Thanks to the generosity of Bill and his wife, Francesca, his collection came to the Libraries when he passed. Having taken such pleasure from consulting and reading his books, Bill wanted them to be used and in the hands of students.

In a graduate course on medieval manuscripts, art history professor Sonja Drimmer and students work with a 15th century psalter, a book of Psalms, from the Lenville Library Collection in the Robert S. Cox Special Collections and University Archives Research Center. The students will be doing research on the manuscript as part of their semester-long studies.

We can’t wait to see what they uncover.
