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 15, curator Dot Porter will be joined by Judaica Special Collections Cataloging Librarian Louis Meiselman, who will show us an early manuscript of Aṿat nefesh, a supercommentary to Abraham ibn Ezra's commentary on the Pentateuch supplying quotations, explanations, and summaries of rational interpretations. Written in Bohemia by Joel b. Joseph Schalit, a Turnau scribe, during the second half of the 15th century.
Note that the Zoom links for Coffee With a Codex are reusable - register once and attend every Thursday at 12pm EST / 5pm GMT.
