About this event

Hybrid Talk: The Story of the Hamilton Field Book of Hours, part of the In the Night Garden Lecture Series with Dr Jill Unkel, Curator of Western Collections, Chester Beatty.

Join curator, Dr Jill Unkel, as she explores the history of this beautifully illuminated manuscript, from its production in fifteenth-century France to today. We will examine the evidence within its covers to reconstruct the historic removal of pages and the reasons why they were extracted. The talk will explore the journeys of the book through its most recent owners in New York, London and finally Dublin.

FREE. Hybrid Talk: This lecture will be delivered in the lecture room. No booking required for onsite talk, please book to join online talk.
