Mediaevalia, hosted at the Lilly Library, is an annual conference organized jointly by our Medieval Studies Institute and the Lilly Library. Scholars present history and study from manuscripts and early prints to students and faculty. The presentation seeks to give students a concrete understanding of what information the material aspects of a book can provide during the Late Antiquity to Reformation period.
Please note, seating is limited, so both events require you to RSVP. You can register for the lecture or the workshop (or both) using the QR code in our flyer or by visiting https://libraries.indiana.edu/lilly-library/2025-mediaevalia-lilly
