Coffee with a Codex: Genealogy of Christ & a newly discovered example of the Speculum Theologiae diagram series

On March 13, Curator Lynn Ransom brought out our newest acquisition, Ms. Codex 2243, a 14th-century copy of the 12th-century pedagogical text Compendium historiae in genelogia Christi paired with a series of moral and theological diagrams collectively known as the Speculum theologiae. (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.
