SUMMARY:Richard & Mary Rouse History of the Book Lecture by Kristina Richardson
DESCRIPTION:“Between Two Worlds: The Roma and Early Global Print Cultures” \nGuest Speaker: Kristina Richardson (University of Virginia) \nRichardson will show that Roma and other traveling people not only utilized block printing between 800 and 1450 in North Africa and West Asia but also introduced print technology in their new homes when they migrated to Central Europe in the 1410s. Traveling people were the links bridging the early print cultures of North Africa\, West Asia\, and Central Europe. \nKristina Richardson is the John L. Nau Professor of History at the University of Virginia. Her research focuses on premodern non-elite Arab history\, particularly the history of people with disabilities\, users of sign language\, Romani groups (ghurabā’)\, craftspeople\, and enslaved laborers and entertainers. Her current book project is Black Basra: Race\, Labor\, and Piety in Early Islamic History. \nThe History of the Book Lecture series\, established in 1993 through the efforts of Richard and Mary Rouse\, provides an annual venue for internationally recognized authorities on medieval and Renaissance books to present their expertise at UCLA. The lecture’s focus alternates each year between medieval manuscripts and Renaissance books. The topics explored in past lectures were book and manuscript illustration\, the development of printing\, early book printers and sellers\, the book trade\, and medieval and Renaissance book and manuscript collections. \nRegister to attend in Royce 314 \nRegister to attend via ZOOM \nMore information about past Richard and Mary Rouse History of the Book lectures can be found here.
