A MEDIEVAL travel guide and a pilgrim’s shoe are among competition entries inspired by medieval manuscripts now on display at the Bodleian’s Weston Library.
Redesigning the medieval book, on display until March 11, features the best of over 50 entries from an international competition challenging contemporary artists to create new works inspired by items from the Bodleian’s new exhibition Designing English.
There were over 50 entries, ranging from digital displays to adaptations of traditional medieval formats such as religious calendars.
The winning entry was designed by artist Sue Doggett, and shows a modern version of a medieval calendar.
To prepare for the competition, artists were invited to attend workshops where items from the Designing English exhibition were on show.
The competition was judged by Daniel Wakelin, curator of the exhibition Designing English.
Admission is free.
