[Cynnabar] Curatorial Guided Tour

[Randy Asplund]

I'm writing in once again to see who would like to have a guided tour  
of the U of M exhibit Sacred Hands of the three Abrahamic Faiths.
This exhibit is not very large, but has several examples of ancient,  
medieval and post medieval manuscripts on papyrus, parchment and  
paper. It has Bible, Torah, Qur'an and other related texts dating from  
Roman times, Egypt, Armenia, Europe and Middle Eastern sources.

So far only two people besides Arin and myself have expressed interest  
in going. I stopped by to look last week when I was in doing research  
and I thought it was a good exhibit. But the presentation would be  
greatly enhanced by the words of a curator. The head of the special  
collections department himself has offered to give us that tour. Its a  
great opportunity, so I am making this last call to see if there is  
any more interest.

If you are interested in seeing this exhibit with with the curator as  
a guide, please email me by Friday of this week. If we have a couple  
to a few more people to make it worth a special visit I will arrange  
it. I will send a message to this list Friday night to say whether we  
got the numbers or not.
