[Michlib-l] Rare Book exhibit at Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, Michigan

[Gary R. Cocozzoli]

Lawrence Tech is hosting an exhibit, "Literary Masterpieces: Sacred and
Secular" from January 12-28, 2016.   This includes approximately 25 rare
books and manuscripts from the Remnant Trust Collection, headquartered at
Texas Tech University.

This exhibition is a diverse representation of texts focusing on the quest
for human freedom and dignity.   See examples of such titles as the Magna
Carta (1576 printing), major religious texts, Machiavelli's The Prince, or
Gallileo's Della Scienza Mechanica. (for a complete list, visit
http://www.ltu.edu/ltu/exhibit.asp#tab1)

Visitors are invited to examine and touch these masterworks, and a docent
will be present to discuss the significance of each item.  In addition to
the public hours noted in the attachment, there are several panel
discussions scheduled that highlight the thoughts of local scholars, and
these are also open to the public (a list of these sessions:
http://www.ltu.edu/ltu/exhibit.asp#tab2).

The exhibit will be in the Lawrence Tech University Gallery in the UTLC,
located off the Ten Mile Rd. entrance, west of Evergreen and the M-10 Lodge
Freeway (Northwestern Highway).  There is free parking on the campus.
