  • ARHI 20260: Art of the Medieval Codex

    3.00 Credits
    University of Notre Dame

    In classical times text and image were applied to papyri and scrolls, in the mid-15th century movable type and woodcuts printed text and images into paper books. During the intervening millennium text and images were written, drawn, and painted by multiple hands onto the bound parchment of medieval codices. As an introduction to the study of medieval manuscripts, this class will begin with an overview of codicological methods and then move through a series of thematic questions as they relate to specific manuscripts made in western Europe between the 5th and 15th centuries. We will consider production methods, text-image relationships, issues of patronage and use, and many other questions as we examine the central role manuscripts played in the evolution of medieval European culture.
