Coffee with a Codex: Prayers in Arabic & Coptic

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 12, Curator Dot Porter will bring out two examples of manuscripts written in Coptic and Arabic. CAJS Rar Ms 192 is a 19th century copy of two prayers in Coptic with Arabic translation, and CAJS Rar Ms 195 is a late 18th century copy of the Psalms in Coptic and Arabic with illuminations before each new prayer. (CAJS Rar Ms 192: OPenn, Internet Archive; CAJS Rar Ms 195: OPenn, Internet Archive; CWAC Recording)
