UL: Studies and Students

Thursday, 25 April 2024, marked the end of a series of workshops on the origins of the manuscript book and writing offered to students as part of the BEYOND LANGUAGE course. During the first two meetings, mgr Dawid Kuriański and dr Adam Poznański from the Manuscripts Department of the University Library in Wrocław, introduced the students of the MSI College to the fascinating origins and dynamic changes in writing over the past centuries. Writing itself, and even more so the written and printed book, are groundbreaking, albeit relatively ‘new’ inventions in the history of cultural and linguistic development.
