Monastic Worlds: Manuscripts in Special Collections at Ellis Library

This video was created to support the course Monastic Worlds, taught by Dr. Rabia Gregory and Dr. Virginia Blanton at the University of Missouri's Columbia and Kansas City campuses in summer 2016. It highlights three manuscripts in Special Collections and Rare Books that are known to have been used by monastic communities: a 12th-century copy of Priscian's Institutiones grammaticae, a 15th-century book of hours, and a 16th-century illuminated processional.
