...altarpiece, she says in an article in the Metropolitan's Bulletin, was most likely made in Paris, where 273 goldsmiths are known, by name, to have lived at the time. If the 36 tablets look like illustrations from an illuminated manuscript, it is because the goldsmiths tended to emulate the art of Jean Pucelle, the greatest of Paris' painters of miniatures. The enamel work, as Cellini described it a century later, was a painstaking process. First, he said, "you can grave on your plate anything that your heart delights in." The colored glass that is to form...
...best collection of its kind, it has been shown outside Antwerp only twice-in Belgrade and Paris' Bibliotheque Nationale. Last week a generous portion of the collection was on view at Dartmouth College in the hills of Hanover, N.H. Some rare and old items: a Spanish manuscript of a medical treatise by Andreas Vesalius and Juan Valverda, ten title pages designed by Peter Paul Rubens, and such fastidious examples of the illustrator's art as the drawing of the Adoration of the Shepherds by Martin...
...semiannual volume of studies called the Analecta Bollandiana, a dry, multilingual collection of research on the lives of the saints. The latest Analecta, for example, contains one article on the Bollandists' current favorite topic.

But no volume...

We know that adults (especially college students!) rarely use correct form in their typical writing, and we urge you to undertake a program (about 15 minutes daily) to improve your writing form, both manuscript and cursive, to the level that will be expected of you during your apprenticeship. Perhaps careers are not made nor broken because of handwriting, but suffice to say that every little bit helps...
Translated from a Latin manuscript into thee-and-thou English by Writer Catherine Van Dyke, the Letter tells how Claudia's son Pilo had his withered foot cured by Jesus. Overcome, Claudia tries to convert her husband to faith in Christ, but Pilate is an intellectual, and a nut about philosophy, and won't bite. From her vantage point near Herod's Palace, Claudia describes Christ's passion in gory detail: "Jesus, bound to a pillar, and standing in a red pool of his own blood." After the Crucifixion, Pilate loses favor with Rome, and ends...
