Lecture by Professor Arthur Verhoogt's "Books and Libraries in Antiquity"

Did you think scrolling a book was modern? Well, think again. The ancient Greeks and Romans did nothing else but scroll their books because before the introduction of the codex, a scroll was the only book form they knew. During this talk, Prof. Verhoogt will show you what ancient books looked like, how they were produced and distributed, and whether there was anything like the UGLI in the ancient world.

Come check it out in the UClub at the Union at 6:00 Wednesday, September 22nd.
