From Papyrus to Printing Presses: Sacred Texts

Catholic Eldercare will host a free presentation on Monday, June 3, 1:30-3 pm at the MainStreet Lodge, 909 Main St. NE. Sacred scripture is now readily available in countless printed versions and on the internet. This easy access stands in contrast to earlier centuries of Christianity, when all texts were handwritten. From ancient scrolls to medieval books, you will look at some spectacular illuminated manuscripts written and illustrated by nuns, monks, and professional lay artists for churches, monasteries, scholars, and prominent people of the time. Presented by Kristin Anderson as part of Catholic Eldercare’s Elder Enrichment Series. Call 612-362-2450 to register.
