History of the Book
Students in HIST 96: History of the Book, closely examine content, provenance, and physical evidence embodied in rare books in Tisch Library Special Collections. Working with Professor Alisha Rankin and Curator of Rare Books Christopher Barbour, they have opened the covers of dozens of books for a wider audience via the web, while exploring the circulation of ideas in books from the Middle Ages through the 19th Century, in codex, pamphlet, and early printed book.
