March 31, 2006: Minnesota Library Acquires Important Medieval Book
"In a partnership with the Newberry Library in Chicago, the University purchased partial ownership of a 15th century legal manuscript."
"The manuscript, written primarily in Latin, details the laws of Brno, now a Czech Republic city. Susan Noakes, director of the Center for Medieval Studies, said the manuscript will provide insight into everyday life during the 1400s."
