As a world-renowned scholar of Art History, Kathryn has held research, teaching, and curatorial positions in the US, the UK, Canada, The Netherlands and Belgium. Her research focuses on the reception and original function of manuscripts and she has pioneered the use of the densitometer to measure the dirt that original readers deposited in their books.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This is one of the most underrated Ted talks that I've ever listened to. This is why TedX exists, for these obscure yet widely fascinating topics.

"Fascinating" doesn't necessarily pay the rent.

I bet she was nervous, had she not tried to be funny the brilliance of her work would have necessarily shone through.

I agree with you. She puts it in a way that those traces left by past readers are something to laugh about when actually what those ancient readers were doing is devotion towards an image. We forget that in the past, books were not widely accessible to everybody, only the wealthy or the clergy possessed them because they were so expensive to make (esp. if using parchment/vellum). I took a seminar at university about medieval manuscripts and to create a manuscript, dozens of animals were killed to yield the skin that was used to make the pages of the book. Hence the cost. The largest scriptoria monasteries grew cows or goats to produce books. We forget all this because we belong to a different era. So, yes, I agree, there's nothing funny about the fact that these old books were loved and used with so much devotion.
