About this Event

A new look at medieval monastic manuscript culture.

Andrew Jotischky, Professor of Medieval History at Royal Holloway, University of London, will speak about the manuscript culture at the heart of his recent book, The Monastic World: A 1,200-Year History (Yale University Press, 2024). His talk will be followed by a conversation with Gillian Adler, President of the New York Medieval Society.

Andrew Jotischky, Professor of Medieval History at Royal Holloway, University of London, specializes in medieval religious culture, including monasticism, pilgrimage, and devotion. His other books include The Carmelites and Antiquity, Crusading and the Crusader States, and The Penguin Historical Atlas of the Medieval World.

Jotischky's book will be available for sale and signing.


Registration

If you are a Grolier Club member, please register yourself and your guests via the Club website. Do not register via Eventbrite.

Support

We appreciate your interest in the Grolier Club’s programming on the art and history of the book. For over 130 years we have offered our exhibitions and lectures to the public, free of charge. If you have enjoyed these offerings, and would like to support that tradition, and help ensure that it continues, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Grolier Club.

Accessibility

An ADA-compliant lift from street level to the lobby is available to anyone with mobility issues. All desk staff should be ready and able to assist you in operating the lift, with or without advance notice.

A “T-Coil” assisted listening system is available to anyone attending a lecture in the Exhibition Hall. Visitors with hearing aids should turn their devices to the “T” setting in order to access the system; visitors without hearing aids may request a “loop receiver” with earphones.

Environment

The temperature and humidity in the exhibition hall are tightly controlled for the sake of the valuable items on display, and this may cause the room to feel chilly, particularly in warmer weather, to those coming in from outside. Members and visitors are advised to bring a light wrap when visiting an exhibition, or attending an event in the hall.
