SUMMARY:Coffee with a Codex: Treatise on Weight in Arabic
DESCRIPTION: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.\n\nOn October 1 (rescheduled 
 from July 2)\, curator Dot Porter will bring out LJS 386\, substantial 
 sections from an illustrated treatise on the measurement of weight\, with a 
 historical introduction to theories of gravity and weighing in Greek and 
 Arabic science\; tables of densities of substances including metals\, 
 precious stones\, solids\, and liquids\; and descriptions of different 
 types of balances. Undated\, but likely copied sometime in the late 13th or 
 early 14th century.\n\nNote that the Zoom links for Coffee With a Codex are 
 reusable - register once and attend every Thursday at 12pm EST / 5pm 
 GMT.\n\nSee the full schedule for Coffee with a Codex.\n\nJoin our mailing
