> prof. Paul Dyck (Canadian Mennonite University), Picturing the
> Word: Antwerp Biblical Illustrations at Little Gidding
>
> Abstract: In the 1630s, the Ferrar family of Little Gidding (near
> Cambridge) constructed gospel harmonies by cutting and pasting
> printed English New Testaments and Antwerp biblical illustrations,
> forming new pages out of pre-existing parts, and also forming what
> did not otherwise exist: early 17th century illustrated bibles.
> This presentation will describe the Ferrars’ project, with
> particular attention to its marriage of a Protestant text to
> Catholic images.
