Artists’ Book Cornucopia is an annual exhibition held at Abecedarian Gallery in Denver, Colorado each spring. Luise Poulton, Managing Curator, Rare Books, Special Collections, J. Willard Marriott Library, University of Utah was the juror for this year’s exhibition.
“For Artists’ Book Cornucopia V, I looked for diversity of format, material and subject matter. I wanted a vision of the enormity and complexity of communication that can happen in books, old and new. Old formats restructured as new forms. Old texts remade and replete with new meanings. New or unusual materials combined with expected materials to push the notion of communication: tactility heightened, strengthening the experience of the message.”

Join students of Professor Lance Olsen’s fiction workshop (ENGL5510) as they present their short stories during a public reading.
One of the pieces being introduced will feature an illustration from Andreas Vesalius’ famous book of anatomy, De Humani Corporis Fabrica. The short story, inspired by Vesalius’ revolutionary depictions of the female anatomy, addresses the often taboo topic of female sexuality. Lyuba Basin, Rare Books student assistant, used our copy of the 1555 edition of De Humani Corporis Fabrica as reference for her work, specifically focusing on the wonderfully detailed illustration of the dissected female body.
Thursday, April 17 & Tuesday, April 22
2-3:30PM
Two Creek Coffee located in the Frederick Albert Sutton Building on the campus of the University of Utah.
Vesalius, De Humani…, 1555

March 25, 2014
6:00 PM
Alta Club 100 East South Temple
Join the University of Utah’s Friends of the J. Willard Marriott Library for an eventful evening including a display of rare books, a silent auction, and a presentation by well-known speaker, bibliophile and writer, Nicolas Basbanes. In his presentation, “Fruits of a Gentle Madness,” Basbanes will use anecdotal, specific, up-to-the-minute examples to illustrate how great libraries and important research collections have relied on, over decades and to this day, the passion and eccentricities of the private collector.
The evening will provide an opportunity to share your book collecting adventures and favorite books with fellow aficionados.

≈ Comments Off on Recommended Lecture — Voicing Cultural Change
The Obert C. & Grace A. Tanner Humanities Center presents:
Voicing Cultural Change: A Renaissance Songwriter’s Move from Performance to the Printed Book
by Professor Maria Dobozy, Dept. of Languages and Literature
Wednesday, October 23, 2013
Noon-1:30
The Jewel Box, Room 143
Carolyn Tanner Irish Humanities Building
University of Utah
This lecture forms a chapter in a book-length project evaluating the Hungarian poet Sebastian Tinodi (c. 1510-1556). Tinodi is unique in Hungarian literary history because his are the earliest extant secular songs composed with melodies. He chronicled the war between Ottoman, Hungarian, and Hapsburg forces. Dr. Dobozy examines artistic production in Tinodi’s multi-ethnic, multi-lingual setting; discerning typical traditional elements in Hungarian songs of the period; and finding evidence of the cultural exchange between Germany and Hungary in print and book production, poetic and musical composition, and musical performance.
