Combining Digital Humanities, Art History, historical Anthropology and Codicology, this lesson plan introduces post-secondary students to medieval manuscript production, trade and reading culture in the Middle Ages, emphasizing the human processes involved in the manufacturing, selling and use of these artefacts as well as how their purpose (be it monastic, courtly, or urban) determined their material and visual qualities. Students will learn to navigate available digitized manuscript platforms to gain access to these books and consult them in detail. The aim of this activity is to explore medieval manuscripts throughout the Middle Ages, understand their physical qualities, their commercial and symbolic value and how the physical appearance of the manuscript responded to the times, to its readers as well as to its purpose.
