Event – Detail Past

In INDEX, A HISTORY OF THE: A Bookish Adventure from Medieval Manuscripts to the Digital Age, Dennis Duncan demonstrates why the index is one of the most important inventions in the history of knowledge. Since its genesis in thirteenth-century Europe, the index has taken learning out of the monasteries and universities and into the public domain, proving vital for the spread of religion, reading, and even the creation of the internet and the Age of Search.
