The Coombe was a home in Hespeler, Ontario. From 1905-1913, Smyly Homes in Dublin Ireland sent children to Canada for a better life. After a short period at the Coombe they were shipped out to the farms or homes to work and live. From 1913- 1947, the Children's Aid Society ran the home. It was also used as a temporary detention centre. This book captures not only the history of the Coombe but also stories of the children who lived there. The experiences of the kids range from being treated like members of the family to situations of abuse. This book will stay in your memory for years to come.

Manuscripts in Transition. Recycling Manuscripts, Texts and Images gathers together some 40 contributions by art historians specialised in research into book illuminations from the time of Charlemagne to Charles V's Habsburg empire (ca. 800-ca. 1550). The accent is mainly on the art of the illumination in the Gothic, Burgundian and Post-Burgundian periods. This anthology is the product of an international conference held in Brussels in 2002 in connection with the exhibition Medieval Mastery: Book Illumination from Charlemagne to Charles the Bold (800-1475) (Leuven, Stedelijk Museum Vander Kelen-Mertens). The central focus of the conference was the systematic re-use of texts and images in the Middle Ages. The examination of this theme resulted in the present fascinating series of articles.
