In her autobiography, Margery interacts with books, while claiming not to read them; we\u2019re following her lead. What did those books look like?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a look at the page below, from an illustrated prayerbook in the Newberry Library. Manuscripts like this are written by hand by scribes and decorated by hand by artists working with them; each one is unique. The column on the left gives you the terms to describe what you see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"763\" src=\"https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/AnatomyManuscript1-1024x763.png\" alt=\"Infographic showing the different parts of an illuminated manuscript\" class=\"wp-image-20684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/AnatomyManuscript1-1024x763.png 1024w, https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/AnatomyManuscript1-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/AnatomyManuscript1-600x447.png 600w, https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/AnatomyManuscript1-768x573.png 768w, https:\/\/dcc.newberry.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/AnatomyManuscript1.png 1073w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discussion Guide for Students and Instructors<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2767<\/strong> We can see many clues on this page that this particular book was made with care. Its owner did not want any old copy of the text of these prayers; this is a deluxe edition. Describe any evidence you see that indicates that this book was a deluxe edition; in other words, how do we know that scribes put effort into presenting the text in this way? Be sure to use the terms from manuscript studies above.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2767<\/strong> Look at the prayer on the middle of the page. The manuscript introduces this prayer as \u201cTo the image of the Virgin Mary.\u201d Now look at the image in the initial: is this how you would describe the image in the book? Why describe this picture in that way specifically? Margery herself would call this image a \u201cpity\u201d \u2013 why?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-getwid-tabs__nav-link\"><span class=\"wp-block-getwid-tabs__title-wrapper\"><a href=\"#\"><span class=\"wp-block-getwid-tabs__title\">Downloads<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-tabs__tab-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"wp-block-getwid-tabs__tab-content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Download the following materials below: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A copy of the Skills Lesson<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instructor answer key for the Skills Lesson<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Anatomy of a Manuscript&#8221;
