In
celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Château Ramezay,
the Museum is teaming up with the organizers of UNESCO
“Montreal: World Book Capital” and the international
association “Les Amis de la Reliure d’Art”, to bring you an
intimate look at the evolution of the artwork that binds the
pages of history. This exhibit is for book lovers of all ages
that will revel at the chance to experience the artwork of
these rare intricately decorated artefacts. Furthermore, this
collection illustrates that books are not just messengers of
ideas but are in themselves pieces of art that capture the
evolution of communication, from Antiquity to the new
electronic era.

An Exhibition of Arabic, Persian, and
Turkish Manuscripts
at the McGill's McLennan Library

|
|

An
exhibition of rare Islamic manuscripts is presently on
display in the McLennan Library Lobby from September to
November 30, 2005. The selection includes bound
Arabic, Persian and Turkish manuscripts, some of which
reveal the finest examples of book illustration and
illumination. In addition, the exhibition features early
fragments of the Qur'an on parchment, wooden
writing tablets, a miniature scroll, lacquer pen boxes,
and beautiful calligraphic pieces.The
exhibition also highlights the work of Les Amis de la
reliure d'art who volunteered their summer to construct
up to one hundred conservation boxes and portfolios. The
exhibition items are drawn from the rare collections of
the Islamic Studies Library and from the Rare Books
Division of the McGill Library. We wish to acknowledge
not only the members of ARA but the generous
contributions of the donors who allowed for this
collaborative community endeavour to be a success,
especially the Ismaili Community of Quebec, Canadian
National Railway, IBM Canada, Scotiabank, Woolfits Art
Enterprises and Lee Valley Tools. The exhibition is
curated by Adam Gacek, and was put together in
collaboration with Ann Marie Holland and Donald Hogan of
the McGill Library, as well as Anne-Marie Saint-Onge and
Saskia Roukema (ARA). 3459
