Join the RBML for a live peek into "the Ordo", a resplendently illuminated 14th century French manuscript chronicling the coronation of the last Capetian queen in word and image. This presentation led by Paula Carns, Head of the Literatures and Languages Library, will focus on the woman figured in the manuscript, her relationship to the book, and her and her royal relatives’ book collecting habits.
