Originating Calendar: Rare Book & Manuscript Library Events; The John Eliot Bible (1664) is the first bible published in North America, and the RBML owns an extraordinary copy of this exceedingly rare book. Professor Bob Morrissey from the U of I's History Department will join us to discuss this unusual text, and how it can be used to examine American origin stories, as well as histories of historical interpretation and practice in our land-grant institution. This talk is open to the public, and refreshments will be served.
