Coffee with a Codex: Hymns and Prayers

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 November 7, Curator Dot Porter brought out Ms. Codex 1604, a manuscript collection of texts of hymns and prayers bound with slightly later printed pastoral works appropriate for a priest. The main languages used in both printed and manuscript are German and Latin, and the manuscript section was written in Germany in the late 15th century. It's a fascinating example of the interplay between print and manuscript through the 15th century. (BiblioPhilly, OPenn, CWAC Recording)
