Coffee with a Codex: Ethiopian Manuscripts
On February 26, curator Dot Porter will bring out a selection of manuscripts from Ethiopia.
Hosted by: SIMS and Kislak Center
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 26, curator Dot Porter will bring out a selection of manuscripts from Ethiopia, including a prayer book (LJS 102), an illustrated protective roll (Ms. Roll 2059), and a liturgical book (Ms. Codex 2338). They were all copied in the late 19th or early 20th centuries, and reflect the distinctive and longstanding Ethiopian manuscript art and culture.
Note that the Zoom links for Coffee With a Codex are reusable - register once and attend every Thursday at 12pm EST / 5pm GMT.
