Here by popular demand! Abigail Quandt recently gave a presentation about conserving her museum's 14th century "lace book." It created quite a buzz amongst her dancer friends, so we have invited her to tell us more about her world-renown conservation work as she gives us a peek at her 12th century Italian St. Francis Missal project.

  • Recording of Jenny Beer's interview with Abigail
  • Here's the digitized St. Francis Missal, page by page
  • If you enjoyed this and/or the lace book presentation,please consider donating to the Walters museum to support this manuscript work

    Ed Leypoldt shared an Irish song for St. Patrick's Day.

    Closing Song

    Cecily Mills sang "Country Life":
    (chorus)
    I like to rise when the sun she rises
    Early in the morning
    And I like to hear them small birds singing
    Merrily upon the laylum [ley land]
    And hurrah for the life of a country boy
    And to ramble in the new mown hay
