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 24, Curator Dot Porter will bring out LJS 188 and LJS 191, copies of a number of astronomical texts in Middle English, in two portions of an original manuscript that is now in four parts. The original manuscript was written in England circa 1496.

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