| Abstract | The collections of the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, once provided exploratory aesthetic, devotional, didactic, and historical pathways for medieval viewers. Today, these fine examples enable new explorations of the past. Two sessions will present current research on this collection of medieval art and manuscripts - one of the most important in the United States, but still relatively unknown in Europe. We seek to familiarise medievalists with this significant resource and showcase the research of international scholars who have worked with Walters materials. Each paper will concentrate on an object or book that has not been the subject of recent focused research. |
