The DiMenna-Nyselius Library will host a drop-in session with facsimile edition expert, Giovanni Scorcioni, of FacsimileFinder (Italy). FacscimileFinder is the largest catalog and supplier of medieval manuscript facsimiles in the world. On display will be various re-creations of rare, illustrated medieval, religious, medical, and astronomical texts.
Fairfield University faculty and staff are welcome to stop by, ask questions of facsimilie expert Scorcioni, and consider how these types of materials might be incorporated into our collection and the curriculum. University Archivist and Special Collections Librarian, Elise Bochinski, will be on hand to chat about the Library's Special Collections and gather participants' feedback.
