Coffee with a Codex: Glossed Fragments

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 April 10, Curator Dot Porter brought out Ms. Codex 1603 and Ms. Codex 729, two substantial fragments featuring glossed texts. Ms. Codex 1603 is a quire from a glossed Second Corinthians (France, early 13th century), while Ms. Codex 729 is two unbound quires from a work dealing with a section of canon law (France, early 14th century). (Ms. Codex 1603: OPenn, Internet Archive, BiblioPhilly; Ms. Codex 729: OPenn, Internet Archive, BiblioPhilly)
