yale errata exhibition 2751007

Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library is hosting a new exhibition titled "'Beauties of My Style,'" which explores 500 years of printed errors and errata sheets. Curated by Rachel Churner and Geoff Kaplan, the show features approximately 30 artifacts ranging from James Joyce’s error-riddled first edition of Ulysses to the infamous 1631 "Wicked Bible," which accidentally commanded readers to commit adultery. The exhibition highlights how these slips of paper serve as more than just corrections, acting as sites of humor, legal maneuvering, and poetic reinterpretation.
