Venue: Postgraduate Room 1st floor , Baillieu Library
Presenters: Professor Charles Zika
A 16th century eleven metre scroll illustrating the history of the world from Biblical times is the centrepiece of an exclusive exhibition at the University of Melbourne to coincide with Rare Book Week. 'A chronicle of French, English and world history, ranging from creation to the year 1521' and other exquisite items including illuminated manuscripts on vellum from the same period will be on show. The items are recently acquired and on loan from the Kerry Stokes Collection, and will be on show in the University's Baillieu Library. Three public lectures will explore the objects' unusual provenance and cultural significance. The second lecture in the series, by historian Charles Zika, will explore this exemplary Chronicle, which was printed in Paris in 1521and includes 92 woodcut illustrations.
