The Renaissance vision of Jerome (c. 347-420 AD), as depicted by Albrecht Dürer in a world-famous engraving of 1514, seems to represent an ideal type of the scholar: secluded in the desert, far removed from the bustle of ordinary life (with a lion to prove it), well-established in his institution (as shown by the cardinal's hat), and devoted to his studies.
The post Jerome: a model scholar? appeared first on OUPblog.
This year, I kind of volunteered to head up the faculty thank-you gifts. We ended up ordering customized sketchbook covers from the awesome folks at
Renaissance Art.
(Pocket Moleskine cover on left, custom sketchbook on right).
(Check out their site - truly gorgeous stuff, and they are very very nice to work with. I want one of my own now!).
We had a little 'ceremony' where I (and my awesome helpers) handed out the various sketchbooks.
Each book had a (gorgeous) sketch done by one of the students on the title page, along with a 'love note' of sorts, and an accordian foldout covered with our signatures and personal messages.
(Iain McCaig loves his sketchbook. :-)
We gave the large, beautiful one to Rebecca, with an incredible sketch by the awesome
Kimberly Kincaid (see a much better scan of this picture on her blog
here).
Donato also handed out some cool stuff, both to the assistants (
Aaron Miller shows his excitement)-
