Explore the fascinating world of rare books with Mr. Dennis Vetrovec (ISU Special Collections) and Dr. Steven Stofferahn (ISU Department of History). This program offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with historical codices with attendees adopting a specific codex—individually or in pairs—to research its history through guided questions and access to research tools. Participants are encouraged to bring in their own rare books for the class to consider from the perspective of the professional book collector and archivist. This intimate setting ensures personalized attention and a deep dive into the subject matter. Discover the hidden stories and historical significance of these ancient texts!
