Publication Update! "A Labyrinth in the Wilderness" Appears in The Journal of Lancaster County's Historical Society

When I published The Word in the Wilderness: Popular Piety and the Manuscript Arts in Early Pennsylvania in 2020, I knew I eventually wanted to write a theoretical and methodological piece, to lay out in explicit terms my approach to Pennsylvania German manuscript studies. More than four years later, it has finally happened!

I am so pleased to see my new article “A Labyrinth in the Wilderness: New Pathways for the Study of Pennsylvania German Illuminated Manuscripts” in The Journal of Lancaster County’s Historical Society (vol 124, no. 3: September 2024). The research is based on an NEH Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship completed at LancasterHistory in 2022, work undertaken at the William L. Clements Library at the University of Michigan via a Jacob M. Price Digital Fellowship in 2022-2023, plus research at many other institutions.
