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 June 25, curator Dot Porter brought out Ms. Codex 1564, a copy of the Penitential Psalms in French, written in France in the 17th century. It is written in a lovely calligraphic script and contains many illustrations. It's bound in a gorgeous embroidered binding, which we spent some time looking at, too.
