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 November 13, Curator Dot Porter will bring out LJS 101, the oldest codex in Philadelphia! It includes a translation of Aristotle's De interpretatione by Boethius, and other texts. It was written in France ca. 850 and ca. 1000. (We introduced this manuscript in 2023, but it's a favorite so we reserve the right to return to it when we wish.)
Note that the Zoom links for Coffee With a Codex are reusable - register once and attend every Thursday at 12pm EST / 5pm GMT.
