Exhibition Opening Reception

Thursday, September 18, 5-7:30 p.m.

 

Join the Art Museum, USJ in celebrating the opening of Painted Pages: Illuminated Manuscripts 13th-18th Centuries with light refreshments, fine art, and lively conversation.

 

Painted Pages explores the golden age of handmade books.  Medieval European examples include a range of Christian devotional and liturgical texts – from psalters and books of hours to choir books and lectionaries. Among the non-Western examples are seventeenth- and eighteenth-century leaves from the Koran and the Shahnameh (the Persian Illustrated Book of Kings) as well as Hebrew texts. This exhibition is organized by the Reading Public Museum, Reading Pennsylvania. At the University of Saint Joseph, it is supported in part by the Karen L. Chase ’97 Fund.

 

This event is free and open to the public.
