Giovanni Scorcioni, owner of Facsimile Finder, a provider and maker of high quality facsimiles based in San Marino, gives a presentation on how these facsimiles are made, with an emphasis on the use of gold leaf. Most of the facsimiles are of manuscript copies dating from ca.700-1600 CE, so these beautifully ornate facsimiles are often the only way to experience the work. The Clark Library uses their copies extensively for instruction. We'll include time to enjoy many examples from Giovanni and the Clark Library collection.
