This year's summer course for graduate students will unpack the function of images in printed books at the Herzog August Library and examine visual data across an array of genres.

We invite advanced graduate students (early modern concentrators) from all fields to apply for this two week session jointly taught by art historians, historians of science, historians of the book, curators and cartographers. Afternoons will be largely reserved for students to pursue their own research at the library.
