The curators, scholars, and experts in the fields of book history, art history, and social history engaged in discussions on some of the objects displayed and facilitated an interdisciplinary debate on some of the many remaining questions concerning Mansion’s oeuvre and his audience. Other topics that were covered were Mansion as a typographer, the innovative Boccaccio and Mansion’s mysterious disappearance, and related topics such as Bruges as an innovative city of book production, collaboration between Athonis de Roovere and Gerard Leeu, and the function of early engravings.
