Coffee with a Codex: Commentaries on Aristotle by Albertus Magnus

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 March 12, curator Dot Porter brought out LJS 482, a 13th century copy of commentaries on Aristotle's De generatione et corruptione and Meteorologica, by the Dominican friar Albertus Magnus. (OPenn, BiblioPhilly, Colenda, Internet Archive, CWAC Recording)
