DePauw University Richard E. Peeler Art Center University Galleries and Collections

DEPAUW University has a small but diverse collection of medieval manuscript pages encompasses five individual parchment leaves from five different medieval manuscripts. These represent a range of book types and geographic origins, including French and Italian Books of Hours, an English missal (a priest’s book for conducting mass), and a Spanish antiphonal (a liturgical songbook). Recently conserved and newly mounted, these intimate treasures originate from equally diverse sources: the two earliest acquisitions were purchased by the University in the 1960s, while the more recent specimens were donated to the University by DePauw alumni and professors, including former professor of Art History Catherine Fruhan. Together they form a silent yet eloquent testimony of medieval literacy, devotion, and scribal craftsmanship. We are proud to have these objects included in The Peripheral Manuscripts Project.
