Exhibitions

At HMML

Type: Temporary exhibition
Hours: Monday through Sunday, in conjunction with the open hours of Alcuin Library.
Location: HMML Reading Room is located on lower level of Alcuin Library on the campus of Saint John’s University in Collegeville, MN.
Exhibition: “Writing in Tongues” explores the many reasons that someone might include multiple languages in a single book. In many cases this occurs because one language is considered sacred and is used in liturgical contexts, while the community uses a different language in everyday life. Similarly, scholars may write in a classical language that is different from their commonly used vernacular language.
Curator: Dr. Josh Mugler, Curator of Eastern Christian and Islamic Manuscripts.
Admission: Free and open to the public.
