1983 Course Schedule

This is a reformatted version of the 1983 Rare Book School course schedule for reference purposes. Note that the course numbers used here simply follow the format of RBS session week and course number within that week (thus 11 is the first course of the first RBS session, 31 is the first course of the third session, &c.). This numbering system was instituted in 1989; for prior years these numbers have been retroactively assigned.
