I can hardly believe half of what’s happened- really, New York, I can’t believe that we actually went to New York- and it feels less…

It seems like just yesterday that Katie and I were preparing to go on our research trip to New York City, and now we’ve just finished up our CURO presentations and are preparing our final…

Find Original Post Here) At the end of February, Madison and I visited the Morgan Library & Museum in New York City to utilize their extensive collection of Books of Hours for our manuscript survey. That was almost two months ago. I still have a hard…
(This post originally appeared on the “Hargrett Hours Project” Blog. Find Original Post Here) I suppose that life is about balance. What, did you really think I was about to say it’s like a box of chocolates? I guess that’s fairly accurate for this whole manuscript business, as well as the trip. It all started out…
(This post originally appeared on the “Hargrett Hours Project” Blog. Find Original Post Here) I think I can speak for both Madison and myself when I say that the days leading up to the Morgan have been a bit stressful.

After a moderately manuscript-free winter break (allowing the occasional perusal of Gallica and the British Library), spring semester has finally begun, and with it so has my research. Let’s get up to speed. During Fall 2017, my work…

Following the directed reading of last semester, Spring semester brings the promise of more progress and exciting new adventures. Truthfully, 2018 is rather intimidating; for one, I will be graduating in May and that is a giant bowl of…
(This post originally appeared on the “Hargrett Hours Project” Blog. Find Original Post Here) School has officially ended, and finals are over; Spring semester will soon begin. Despite this, the Hargrett Passion project is still on my mind. So much has been accomplished this last semester, and there’s so much that we’re looking forward to doing…

Find Original Post Here) The amount of time I’ve spent this semester on the Passion texts within the Hargett Hours seems at odds with my end-of-semester conclusion: Hargrett’s Passion material is unusual. We knew that by the end of Fall 2016, so the inability to properly…
