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.
In 1245, Gautier of Metz composed a poetic summary of all knowledge on the creation of the world and man, geography, and astronomy, and Penn has two copies! On September 5, Curator Dot Porter will bring out LJS 264, written in France around 1400, and LJS 55, written in France in the 1290s.
Note that the Zoom links for Coffee With a Codex are reusable - register once and attend every Thursday at 12pm EST / 5pm GMT.
