Read more about the exhibit in the online exhibit essay
Flowers at Lambach follows the history of a single manuscript volume: a collection of texts relating to canon law, produced by the scriptorium at the Benedictine Abbey of Lambach in Austria in the late fifteenth century, and entering into the collections of the Yale Law Library in 1950. It tells a story of scribes, artists, librarians, and of the institutions and influences that have shaped the history of rare book collecting, in the present as in the fifteenth century.
