Coffee with a Codex: Arabic Dictionary

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 September 25, Curator Dot Porter will bring out LJS 394, the second volume of a 10th-century dictionary of the Arabic language. It was written in Egypt or Syria in the 14th century. (OPenn, BiblioPhilly, Internet Archive, CWAC Recording)
