The Fall 2018 iteration of the Hargrett Hours Project has been working all semester towards a digitized edition of our lovely Book of Hours. Lo and behold, it’s here! This website is the product of two months’ worth of work divided into (roughly) three parts: Team Website, Team Gospels, and Team Prayer, respectively working to create the website and…

If you, hypothetical reader, told me in January that I’d spend a week in New York and many hours sorting through someone else’s mail, I’d do a spit-take. But…

I can hardly believe half of what’s happened- really, New York, I can’t believe that we actually went to New York- and it feels less…

Let’s get up to speed. During Fall 2017, my work…
(This post originally appeared on the “Hargrett Hours Project” Blog. Find Original Post Here) The amount of time I’ve spent this semester on the Passion texts within the Hargett Hours seems at odds with my end-of-semester conclusion: Hargrett’s Passion material is unusual.

Up until now, the research I’ve been working on has felt like the beginning of a television crime drama. Everything I know is pinned to a wall, with some red string connecting bits…
(This post originally appeared on the “Hargrett Hours Project” Blog. Find Original Post Here) When we initially began researching the Hargrett Hours, our group’s primary goal was producing a solid transcription of our section: scriptural passages and accompanying prayers.
