Jess,

Thanks for sharing. The photo is pretty decent -- with your description it was awesome.

I checked out Agrippa on Saturday while in NYC and despite your description was still surprised at how ancient the book appeared---especially sitting next to that bright, shiny floppy. I found the juxtaposition of the two odd. Maybe because the book and its corrugated box seemed a bit too self-important. But it was definitely worth seeing. Thanks for the heads-up.

Aii, all these people getting to check out Agrippa! I'm jealous. I'd been hoping to get up to NYC before this exhibit close but it doesn't look like that will happen.

Christina, I totally know what you mean about the book seeming self-important... because of the ancient appearance, I found myself feeling like I was being faced with a serious artifact, and had to remind myself that it was all facade. Mutable contents, carefully constructed external details... there's gotta be some interesting point to make there, but I'm not up for it. :>

Anyway, glad you got to see it.
