Coffee with a Codex: Italian Book of Hours

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 23, Schoenberg Curator of Manuscripts Nick Herman will bring out Ms. Codex 688, a small, delicate book of hours from 16th century Italy. (OPenn, BiblioPhilly, Colenda, Internet Archive, CWAC Recording)
