Episode 4: Michelle Margolis on Studious Women, Colorful Margins, and a Curious Bath

In Episode 4 of Inside My Favorite Manuscript, Lindsey and Dot talk to Michelle Margolis about a 15th century Haggadah manuscript from Germany. We spend some time talking about how many women are present in the illustrations, and why that might be. We look at some of the other illustrations, which include a hunt, and a very interesting bathing scene. Finally we discuss the signs of use in the manuscript, including ones that you’ll only see in a book used at the dinner table.
