An Extraordinary New Acquisition!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We are delighted to announce an important recent acquisition made possible by the generosity of Katharine J. Kilgour: a manuscript containing the texts of a Book of Hours and a Psalter. Written in Latin and French, it was exquisitely illuminated by one of the leading miniaturists working in Paris in the first two decades of the sixteenth century: Jean Coene IV.  Read more!

Scenes from Ogden, Utah foothills on Labor Day. The air in Ogden was better then Boise on Monday. When we left Boise our AQI was 135, it was moderate or in the AQI 80s range in Utah. When we arrived home in Boise last night, it was inching close to the 190s. I’m over this smoke. It’s starting to feel like we live in Mad Max beyond thunderdome. 🤣 . . . . . . #labordayweekend #laborday #daytrip #ogdenutah #utah #foothills #hike #getoutside #womenoutdoors #sunflowers #sunshine #summer https://www.instagram.com/p/CThpZYWF98D/?utm_medium=tumblr
