From the Harry Ransom Center:
“Ransom Center conservator, Andrea Knowlton, and Pforzheimer Curator, Aaron T. Pratt, will discuss an exciting new Ransom Center acquisition. A copy of famous Venetian printer-publisher Aldus Manutius’s 1502 geographical dictionary in Greek, originally written by Stephanus of Byzantium in the 6th century, it was at some point rebound in a style and using methods associated with the Islamic world. Exactly how, when, and why are unclear—Knowlton and Pratt will talk through the trajectory of their research so far and about the life this 500-year-old book appears to have lived.
