The Medieval Institute's MDVL 6000 class (Advanced Seminar in Medieval Studies: Codicology and Latin Paleography), taught by @mlkharrington, visited the @NewberryLibrary last week to learn from Christopher Fletcher and the Newberry's amazing collection of manuscripts.
WMU's MDVL 6000 class visited Chicago's Newberry library, where they were treated to wonderful instruction by Christopher Fletcher. It was fabulous to explore some of the Newberry manuscripts, such as this 15th century Flemish gem (MS 55.5). Thank you! #wmumedieval @WMULibraries
