Abstract

This essay shares results of an archives-based pedagogical project at the University of Victoria. A brief introduction outlines the University's medieval and early modern holdings and recent instructor-student collaborations; three sections present new findings about a selection of Victoria manuscripts and fragments: a grant of Hubert de Burgh discovered to bear the only known complete seal from Hubert's early career; a single leaf of Constantine the African's translation of Isaac Israeli's Liber dietarium, here identified for the first time; and a Breviary with a calendar that places it at the boundaries of late fifteenth-century Habsburg territories. Transcriptions are included as appendices.
