Detective fiction writer Erin Hart will share how the discovery of the ninth century Fadden More Psalter inspired her latest novel.<\/p>\n<p>The Psalter is an ancient religious text recently discovered in an Irish peat bog. Written at an estimated 1,000 years ago, the book is a significant archaelogical find because of its age and incredible condition and because it is bound in papyrus, which suggests a link between ancient Irish and Mediterranean cultures. Hart worked with preservationists, conservationists, and scholars to incorporate this element of Irish history into her fiction.<\/p>\n<p>Participants will also enjoy a tour of the University Conservation Lab and the Iowa Women&#8217;s Archives. Musical accompaniment will be performed by Paddy O&#8217;Brien, a distinguished Irish musician who is currently at work on the third volume of <em>The Paddy O&#8217;Brien Tune Collection: A Personal Treasury of Irish Traditional Music.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Event details: Thursday, May 1, 2014, 7:00 p.m. Shambaugh Auditorium, Main Library Hart and O&rsquo;Brien in their St. Paul home.
