About Session

Celebrating the diversity of global bookmaking traditions, the exhibition includes many unusual items, with a focus on the continuous transmission and exchange of formal aspects in the world’s three major lineages of the book form: the codex, the East Asian and the pothī traditions. Curated by Martin Heijdra *95, director of the East Asian Library, the exhibition features items from Princeton’s renowned Western, Islamic, East Asian and Meso-American collections of manuscripts and printed books, as well as from many smaller collections, originating from all over the world. Heijdra will lead a guided tour. Exhibition hours are Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m.-6 p.m. *Space for this session is limited to 20
