Coffee with a Codex: Choir Books

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 February 13, curator Dot Porter brought out fragments of two 16th century choirbooks from Spain, Ms. Oversize 4 and Ms. Oversize 33. Made to be used by groups of singers, these books are very large and the scale is difficult to see in digital images. We'll see if a video view will help to show how these books would have originally been used. (Ms. Oversize 4: OPenn, BiblioPhilly, Internet Archive; Ms. Oversize 33: OPenn, BiblioPhilly, Internet Archive; CWAC Recording)
