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.

April 24 is the annual "Bring Our Children to Work Day" at Penn, and Curator Dot Porter will be joined by her son Andrew. He's keen on astronomy, so they'll bring out three of our early astronomy texts: LJS 26, a 13th century Italian copy of Sacrobosco's Tractatum de sphaera; LJS 216, a 13th century French copy of the same text; and LJS 384, a 12th century German copy of De philosophia mundi by William of Conches.

Note that the Zoom links for Coffee With a Codex are reusable - register once and attend every Thursday at 12pm EST / 5pm GMT.
