Illuminating the Word of God
2111 Camino del Rio South, San Diego, 92108
Age Limit: 18+
Cost: Free
For Christians, the word of God is sacred and therefore deserving of celebration in many forms. One of the most beautiful was the illumination of books from the Middle Ages. Dr. Elizabeth Morrison of the Getty Museum will explore these manuscripts through the millennia. Dr. Morrison will also explain the complicated and expensive process of medieval book-making, with specific reference to the creation of The Saint John's Bible. Join us in Linder Hall to learn about the continuing relevance of the illuminated book.
