SUMMARY:Exhibition:A History of the Bible from Ancient Papyri to King James
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit\, from the Special Collections Library\, shows a path of documents that  led to the creation of the 1611 King James Version of the Bible – from ancient  Egyptian manuscripts on papyrus to Medieval manuscripts to the printed book.\n\nThe earliest documents on display are Egyptian papyri\, including examples of a  census record from the year 119 and the oldest known copy of part of the New  Testament. Medieval manuscripts document the preservation of the text until the  invention of movable type printing by Gutenberg around 1450. The early printed  Bibles include versions in Latin and Greek\, and several that show the struggles  among various political factions and church reformers to control the translating of  the Scriptures into the language of the people. See the King James Bible of 1611  that became the accepted standard.\n\nFor Audubon Room hours\, see https://www.lib.umich.edu/audubon-room

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Book of Iterations
DESCRIPTION:This provocative exhibition is comprised of two “bone books” made of horse  skeletons and covered in hand-written texts\, burnished in gold leaf\, and shod in  silver shoes.  Three bridled horse skulls inscribed and leafed become cabinets for  ephemeral objects and imagery clasped in the hands of priest figures dominating  war landscapes.\n\nInscribed text references medieval and early modern Christianity from the first and  second world war\, and archival texts\, produced in the 1870's in the now extinct  Bushman language “ |xam.” \n\nThrough themes of sacrifice and redemption\, the artist explores relic and archive in  the context of writing and language\, and considers the interchange between text  and textuality\, the visible and the invisible world.\n\nThe exhibition maps out the imaginary boundaries and landmarks of the  miraculous history of the book\, what it might look like\, and where it might lead us  in an ongoing journey.\n\nPippa Skotnes is the Andrew W. Mellon Fellow at the U-M Institute for the  Humanities. She is professor of fine art and director of the Center for Curating the  Archive at the Michaelis School of Fine Art\, University of Capetown\, South  Africa.\n\nProfessor Skotnes will be also be presenting the Wednesday Night Museums  lecture “Curating the Archive: Representing Scattered Collections of the Colonial  Past\,” on December 2\, 2009\, 7:30\, Helmut Stern Auditorium\, University of Michigan  Museum of Art.\n\nA corresponding conference\, “Archive\, Museum\, and the Safe House of Language”  takes place on Thursday\, December 3\, 2009\, 9am-4:30pm at the Institute for the  Humanities\, room 2022\, 202 S.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Ida: Darwinius masillae
DESCRIPTION:\"Ida\,\" a new exhibit in the Exhibit Museum's Rotunda\, displays a high-resolution cast of an extremely rare  fossil discovered in 1983 near Messel\, Germany\, but only recently made available for study. The fossil has  proven to be a “link” between the prosimian and simian (\"anthropoid\") primate lineages. It has \"advanced\"  front teeth (incisors and canines) and second toes like those of monkeys\, and is broadly representative of what  human primate ancestors may have looked like during the Eocene epoch 47 million years ago.     Ida (prounded \"eeda\") is named after after the daughter of Dr Jørn Hurum\, the Norwegian vertebrate  paleontologist who secured one section of the fossil from an anonymous owner\, and led the research. Ida was  about eight months old\, or the equivalent of a six-year-old human.     Publication of a paper on the discovery was accompanied by a book\, The Link: Uncovering Our Earliest  Ancestors by Colin Tudge\, and a documentary shown on the History Channel (US)\, BBC One (UK)\,and various  stations in Germany and Norway.     U-M paleontologist Philip Gingerich and U-M anthropologist B. Holly Smith were two members of the \"dream  team\" invited to study Ida. The exhibit will be on display through May 2010.
