Coffee with a Codex: Italian Herbal

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.

Welcome to a new semester! We celebrated by bringing out a favorite, first introduced to CWAC in 2022. On September 4, Curator Dot Porter brought out LJS 419, a 15th century Italian herbal containing a variety of illustrations, accompanied by notes on medicinal properties and preparations of the plants.
