Early Book Lecture Series: 'The Discovery of the Peasants' World in Late Medieval Art: Simon Bening'

The Early Books Lecture Series was established at the University of Arizona by Albrecht Classen, University Distinguished Professor of German Studies. For nearly 20 years, University of Arizona scholars have invited the community to explore rare books, held by Special Collections, that provide primary resource materials for research, and are open for students, faculty, staff, and visitors to access.

Albrecht Classen, University Distinguished Professor in the Department of German Studies,  will present "The Discovery of the Peasants' World in Late Medieval Art: Simon Bening" about the calendar book created by Flemish artist Simon Bening who offered new perspectives on the material world and in the rural world.
