Abstract | Join Lisa Fagin Davis, Executive Director of the Medieval Academy of America, for a special manuscript presentation on the Chronique Anonyme Universelle (Leeds University Library, Brotherton MS 100). This heavily-illustrated late-15th-century scroll tells the story of the world from Creation through the year 1461, accompanied by complex genealogical diagrams showing the direct descent of King Louis XI from Adam. Lisa Fagin Davis' critical edition and translation of the Chronique is at press (Brepols, 2014). Due to space restrictions this talk is limited to 40 participants, and admission will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Early arrival is therefore strongly recommended. |
