Expressions of Democracy: Rare Manuscripts and Reception

Feast your eyes on ancient manuscripts written in iron gall ink! Eve Cordelia Wolynes, Special Collections Curator with Kenneth Spencer Research Library, will showcase a sampling of fragments from centuries past that demonstrate the lasting power of iron gall ink. We’ll invite collaborators and artists who contributed artwork, gall specimens, and ideas to the Library’s Expressions of Democracy in Gall Ink display. Drop-in during the hour and ask your burning manuscript, ink, and gall questions while enjoying the last couple days of this display at the Library. *Due to the fragile nature of the manuscript fragments, we ask that you not touch these materials and leave that to our curator. Questions? Ask Terese: twinters@lplks.org.
