Artifact Description

To inscribe means simply to write, mark, or delineate (using words or signs). The study of inscriptions offers vivid and immediate evidence of late medieval culture as well as insight into language and literacy. Inscriptions may be found as markings, annotations, or in the form of a dedication of a book or work of art to patron or reader. This session will explore a range of inscriptions, from peculiar crosses appearing in a 12c cartulary to fifteenth-century annotations in a copy of Tristan en prose that seem to indicate a network of women readers to an analysis of one book dedication to Lady Jane Grey, placing that dedication in the context of other dedications given to Mary and Elizabeth Tudor.Martha W.
