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 July 3, Curator Dot Porter will bring out Ms. Codex 717, an ascetic miscellany containing a selection of works related to self-privation, including an anonymous tract on the art of dying well, and one on "the misery of human condition" by Lothar of Segni, later Pope Innocent III. It was written in Italy ca. 1470.

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