Workshop

Coffee with a Codex: Canon Law in Verse

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 May 7, curator Dot Porter brought out Ms. Codex 741, a verse summary of Raymond of Peñaforte's Summa de poenitentia et matrimonio; canon law on marriage, simony, usury, luxury, bigamy, etc., with a brief Bible dictionary, arranged in canonical order, not in alphabetical order. Written in France in the 14th century. (OPenn, BiblioPhilly Colenda, CWAC Recording)
