42. Fragments of History
11 months ago
January 15, 2008
In November 2008, Krista Tippett sat down with Fr. Columba Stewart, executive director of the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library (HMML) at St. John's Abbey & University. HMML rescues manuscripts from across the centuries and across the world. And there are worlds in this place on palm leaf and papyrus, in microfilm and pixels — stories of ordinary life as well as the rise and fall of civilizations.
In this behind-the-scenes look from Krista's interview, Fr. Columba shows centuries-old manuscripts in Ge'ez and Samaritan Hebrew, Latin and Armenian, and Greek with Arabic translations. It's an intimate perspective of precious objects well worth viewing.
