CV

Prof. Jeffrey Hamburger is the Kuno Francke Professor of German Art & Culture at Harvard University. Author of numerous books and essays and contributor to several international exhibitions, he takes as his special areas of interest the history of manuscript illumination and the codex in the context of the Christian culture of the Middle Ages, the art and spirituality of female monasticism, the history of mysticism, especially in Germany, and the history of attitudes towards images and visual experience in pre-modern Europe.

FRIAS-Projekt

The Prayer Book of Ursula Begerin

Together with Prof. Nigel Palmer (Oxford University), who will also be a FRIAS Fellow, I will be finishing a monograph on the late fourteenth and late fifteenth-century Prayer Book of Ursula Begerin (Bern, Burgerbibliothek, Cod. 801), one of the most elaborately illuminated private prayer books of the entire Middle Ages. The book aims to situate the prayer book in the context of Alsatian art of the later Middle Ages as well as in the tradition of employing pictures as aids to prayer and meditation, especially in the context of female monasticism.
