Reed College

Subject:

Description:

Full course for one semester. This course will examine book production from late medieval manuscripts through the rise of printing in the Early Modern period. While some attention will be paid to chronological developments, the primary focus will be thematic. Among the issues considered will be the role of collaboration and workshops, the relationship of word to image, the nature of reproduction, and the impact of technological change. Throughout we will consider the book as a complex whole in its original and modern contexts, working when possible with examples in local collections. Prerequisite: Art 201 or consent of the instructor. Conference. Not offered 2009-10.
