ulian
of Norwich spoke of God as sitting in the city of our
soul, and
constructed
a book of contemplative theology of that vision. Florence,
too, is a
city
of a vision, of whose Republic Christ became King. In the
space of five
years it is intended to present four International Congresses
upon this
theme of the City and the Book, tracing the meaning of the
book and the
people who read it through and in a city it shapes and
reflects. In May
of 2001, September 2002, 3-5 June 2004, May/June 2006, we
invite
international
scholars to present papers, and bookdealers, especially of
facsimile
editions
of manuscripts, bookbinders, papermakers, calligraphers to
come
together
to celebrate texts, books, libraries, skills, people, in the
city of
Florence.
Guests to the city can stay in monasteries or in hotels or
with friends.
