Coffee with a Codex: Sephardim in England

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 October 23, Judaica Special Collections Cataloging Librarian Louis Meiselman brought out CAJS Rar Ms. 534, a manuscript written by Moses Gomez de Mesquita documenting his administration and institution of prayer customs for the Sephardim in England. It was written in London between 1744 and 1751. (CWAC Recording)
