Description

Seth Kimmel, an associate professor of medieval and early modern Iberian studies at Columbia University, will give a talk entitled "Early Modern Iberia, Indexed: Hernando Colón's Cosmography."

The Virginia Fox Stern Center for the History of the Book in the Renaissance was established with a permanent endowment in 2017 to support lectures and fellowships, scholarly symposia, and publications related to the rare book and manuscript collections of the Sheridan Libraries at Johns Hopkins University. The center's scholarly focus encompasses the historical reception of classical and medieval thought, and the culture and influence of the Renaissance throughout the early modern period. For additional information please contact Earle Havens, Stern Center director and Nancy H. Hall Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts.

This event is co-sponsored by the Department of the History of Science & Technology, and the Department of German & Romance Languages & Literatures.
