Cut Out and Stuck In: Fragments of Medieval Manuscripts in Nineteenth-Century Albums

Description

Nineteenth-century collectors created albums from all kinds of things including cuttings from medieval manuscripts. Most albums are associated with male collectors, but I will show how women's involvement with them may have been obscured. Few albums now remain intact, yet the way in which these assemblages presented medieval manuscripts has cast a long influence over modern perceptions of medieval books and their value.
