Page from a manuscript

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 May 15, Curator Dot Porter will bring out Ms. Codex 1560, a complete New Testament with prologues, written in a tiny script and including extensive marginal notes. It was written in England between 1235 and 1270. (OPenn, BiblioPhilly, CWAC Recording)
