Coffee with a Codex: Alphabetized Psalms in Hebrew

An informal lunch or coffee time to meet virtually with Kislak curators and talk about one of the manuscripts from Penn's collections. Each week we'll feature a different manuscript and the expertise of one of our curators. Everyone is welcome to attend.

On April 16 (rescheduled from March 5), Judaica Special Collections Cataloging Librarian Louis Meiselman brought out CAJS Rar Ms 720, Marcus Hartig's alphabetization of the Hebrew Psalms, in his 1876 manuscript. (Not yet digitized; CWAC Recording)
