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 May 28, curator Dot Porter will bring out -Ms. Codex 869, a collection of treatises, bullae, and regulations of Franciscan interest, including works of Saint Augustine, Saint Bonaventure, and Saint Bernard and bullae of Eugene IV and Nicholas IV. Written in Italy between 1460 and 1510. We looked at this one on April 30 and only scratched the surface, so we are going in again for a deeper dive.
