SUMMARY:Beauty Can be Dangerous to Your Health
DESCRIPTION:The talk will address the circumstances under which beauti
 fully illustrated manuscripts could become dangerous to your health. W
 hile the production of illuminated manuscripts certainly enhanced the 
 beauty – and thus the price of the manuscript – this beauty almost
  always came at a price. At times this price dangerously involved sacr
 ificing essential part(s) of a text in order to accommodate the illumi
 nation. Furthermore beautifully illuminated manuscripts usually involv
 ed at least two people: one to copy the text\, the other\, and more ar
 tistically talented one\, to produce the illuminations\, for it is ind
 eed very rare to find an illuminated manuscript that was produced by o
 ne person who could perform both tasks. This cooperative effort was no
 t always risk free either. This to say nothing of manuscripts that wer
 e translated from one language to another as was the case with most Gr
 eek manuscripts that were translated into Arabic. The talk will demons
 trate how some of those intricate problems involved in the very nature
  of the production of illuminated manuscripts came to impact the final
  content of the text thus exposing the consumer of the text to real da
 nger.
