"'The Medieval Book' celebrated the Beinecke Rare Book Room and Manuscript Library's distinguished collection of manuscripts from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. It is the fourth in a series of six exhibitions prepared in honor of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the library, each of them focusing on one of its important collections...The theme of this exhibition is the medieval book-it's development, construction, and function in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The exhibition and catalogue reflect recent, and sometimes controversial, developments in the interdisciplinary field of manuscript studies. "-- from introduction.
