SUMMARY:Celebrating AGSL's Leardo Mappamundi
DESCRIPTION:One of the American Geographical Society Library’s most cherished holdings\, the 1452 Mappamundi by the Venetian cartographer Giovanni Leardo\, is undergoing multispectral imaging this winter. Join us for a series of events\, starting with a talk by AGSL Curator Marcy Bidney on Wednesday\, February 19. \nThere are only three Leardo mappamundi left in the world. One of them is held here in Milwaukee at the AGSL\, and the other two are held at libraries in Italy. In fall 2024\, Bidney traveled to Italy to see the maps themselves. In this talk she will discuss the Leardo maps and their place in the history of cartography\, her visits to the libraries in Italy\, and some of the other treasures she was able to see from their collections. \nBidney’s talk will be held at 3:00 p.m. in the AGSL\, located on the third floor of the 51���� Golda Meir Library\, 2311 E. Hartford Ave. \nA team from the Lazarus Project will visit AGSL in March to image the Leardo\, and will offer a public lecture on Wednesday\, March 12. \nImage: Giovanni Leardo\, “Mappamundi\,” 1452

SUMMARY:Great Books Virtual Roundtable Discussion: Guy de Maupassant\, Three Short Stories
DESCRIPTION:Guy de Maupassant\n“Boule de Suif” (1880)\n“The Necklace” (1884)\n“The Wreck” (1886) \nNo expertise or prerequisites are required. We only ask that you read the selected texts. \nINSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ZOOM SESSION \nIf you think you will be attending the session\, please send Max Yela an email (maxyela@uwm.edu) about your intention to attend (even if you decide not to attend later). He will accept notices of intent until 5:00 p.m.\, Feb. 26. Between 6:30 and 6:45 on the day of our discussion\, Feb. 26\, you will receive an email from him with an automatic password-protected URL. Please use that URL to join the session (you will of course need to use a computer with a microphone and a video camera in it — if you want to be seen\, that is). When you join\, you will be placed in a waiting room that Max will be monitoring to allow attendees into the session. Only those he has emailed will be allowed into the session. This process is intended to maximize the security of the meeting. \nThese discussions are free and open to the public. \nPart of the purpose of the Great Books Roundtable Discussions is to illustrate the pedagogical method of shared inquiry. Another purpose is to disseminate an understanding and appreciation of the philosophy of great books education on the 51���� campus. It was the assertion of the former Great Books Program that its methodology and philosophical approach toward the study of foreign languages\, mathematics\, history\, and great books offers a challenging\, meaningful\, and useful Liberal Arts education. \nSpecial Collections serves as host for the Roundtable Discussions in support of these educational goals. Special Collections’ programs\, services\, and policy of free\, open\, and equal access to all its collections have close affinities to the former Great Books Program’s vision of a vigorous Liberal Arts education and its method of shared inquiry. \nMore information on the program can be found on the Special Collections Great Books Roundtable Discussions webpage.
