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 October 29, curator Dot Porter will bring out one of our few manuscripts written in Old French. It contains a short collection of medical advice in prose, framed as sent by Hippocrates to Caesar, comprised of recipes followed by a guide to astronomical movements. Written in France, probably in the third quarter of the 14th century.

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