Being “people of the book”, Christians have embraced books in all their forms, from highly ornamental tomes to cheap pamphlets.
Take a closer look at books from the past 500 years of printing and bookbinding—a work printed on Gutenberg’s own press,
Luther’s “Flugschriften”, elaborate Bibles, subversive tracts, and books from Australia’s convict past.
See—and touch—examples of the full range of historic bindings, from gilt-tooled goatskin to Pacific tapa cloth.
All from the Donald Robinson Library’s extraordinary Rare Books collection.Note: Due to its interactive nature, this event will not be livestreamed.
