 ART OF THE BOOK-Visitors examine some of the rare texts and illuminated manuscripts on display at the Burns Library exhibition, "The Art of the Book from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance: A Journey through 1,000 Years," which opened last week. The exhibition, the most ambitious in the library's history, includes 70 beautifully illuminated manuscripts, miniatures and single leaves ranging from the fifth to the 16th centuries, including a single leaf from a Gutenberg Bible dating to circa 1455.
