Coffee with a Codex: Euclid in Arabic

On April 3, Curator Dot Porter brought out LJS 37 and LJS 460, an incomplete abridgment in Arabic of Euclid's Elements and a separate quire from the same manuscript, collected at different times. They were written on paper in A.H. 502 (1108-1109). (OPenn, BiblioPhilly, Internet Archive, CWAC Recording)

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.
