SoundSeen: Prepping (Smelling) Manuscripts with Columba
3 years ago
Yesterday, a few producers (Colleen, Mitch, and I) drove about an hour northwest of Minneapolis to the town of Collegeville to scout locations for Krista's interview with Father Columba Stewart. This small Minnesota town is home to the Benedictine monks of St. John's Abbey and University, and the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library (HMML, or "himmel" as I've heard it pronounced).
If you've heard of their work, it's most probably for the St. John's Bible, a project commissioning the first handwritten, illuminated Bible since the printing press made its appearance in the 15th century. But, these archivists also preserve and digitize an incredibly large number of manuscripts from places all over the globe, including the world's largest collection of Ethiopian manuscripts and continuing projects in Syria, Lebanon, Malta, Ukraine, India, and many countries in Europe.
For this morning's interview, Mitch asked Columba to bring a few examples. So, he and Wayne Torborg pulled out a few and gave us a preview. If only you could smell them. Ooh la la!
