[Northkeep] Medieval fighting manual at TU

[kiamichikate@gmail.com]

Thank you!!  I will definitely get a hold of Marc soon to let him know I am coming.  I am so glad that TU opens its library to us.  I have been hoping to find some where I could locate rare books for research.

You can visit the department during regular hours, 8:00am-5:00pm Monday through Friday, or after hours by special appointment.  It would be helpful to give Diarmaid a heads-up so he can have the materials you are interested in ready for you.  Email him at marc-carlson at utulsa.edu

The University will be closed next Friday and the following Monday for Memorial Day.

To tempt those of you who haven't been there before, Special Collections also has a couple of period household manuals, an 18th century treatise on fencing, a few medieval books (both handwritten and printed) and a collection of land patents of the Talbot family (the Earls of Shrewsbury) ranging over about six centuries.

> The TU library's Department of Special Collections has acquired a facsimile of a manuscript known as I.33, a fighting manual dating from between 1290 and 1320. You can read a bit about it here:
