Description
Dr. Anne R. Rossi, double Jumbo and former faculty member at the School of Medicine, examines a physician’s almanac made by Julia O’Gara ‘19 (BFA, BS, pre-med) in FAH 92: Medieval Books. When Dr. Rossi retired from her medical practice, she returned to Medford to study art history.
Ms. O’Gara’s project explored a form of medieval reference book, made to hang from a doctor’s belt, which contained biological and astrological knowledge necessary to formulate treatments.
Also shown is Dr. Rossi’s project, a text taken from “Alice in Wonderland,” for which she drew a series of figures, many of them grotesques and visual jokes inspired by medieval manuscripts we studied in class. She included a scribal portrait of author Lewis Carroll, pen name of mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.
