Sachsenspiegel, a German Lawbook and its Pictorial Tour of Medieval Society
When
The Early Books Lecture Series was established at the University of Arizona by Dr. Albrecht Classen, University Distinguished Professor of German Studies. For nearly 20 years, University of Arizona scholars have invited the community to explore rare books, held by University Libraries Special Collections, that provide primary resource materials for research, and are open for students, faculty, staff, and visitors to access.
The lectures are free, open to the public, and will be in the Special Collections Conference Room.
