4b. Bonus: Timothy Perry on The Book of Peace.

We met up with Timothy Perry, medieval manuscript and early book librarian at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library at the University of Toronto. The Fisher is excited to announce the acquisition of a rare and lavish medieval manuscript of The Book of Peace, written by Christine de Pizan (whose classic The Book of the City of Ladies we discussed in our last episode). Tim was kind enough to show the newly acquired book to us and tell us about its many charms. --- The Spouter-Inn; or, A Conversation with Great Books Episode 4b March 6, 2019 The Spouter-Inn is a podcast where Suzanne and Chris talk about great books—but what does “great” even mean? ★ Show notes: https://megaphonic.fm/spouter/4b ★ Additional episodes: https://www.megaphonic.fm/spouter/ ★ Hosted by Chris Piuma and Suzanne Conklin Akbari ★ Support us on Patreon:   / megaphonic   00:00:00 Introduction: Timothy Perry. 00:01:28 The binding of the manuscript. 00:03:00 The Book of Peace. 00:06:44 Back to the binding. 00:08:15 The body of the manuscript. 00:11:36 On parchment. 00:14:48 The history of the ownership of the manuscript. 00:16:27 The miniature painting on the front page. 00:22:09 Making the manuscript more accessible. 00:27:02 The acquisition and the Fisher. 00:31:58 How libraries make these acquisitions. 00:33:20 Our favourite things about this manuscript. 00:35:26 Wrap up.
