On November 7, Curator Dot Porter will bring out Ms. Codex 1604, a manuscript collection of texts of hymns and prayers bound with slightly later printed pastoral works appropriate for a priest. The main languages used in both printed and manuscript are German and Latin, and the manuscript section was written in Germany in the late 15th century. It's a fascinating example of the interplay between print and manuscript through the 15th century.

Coffee With A Codex is 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.

Discussing the long s with a historian professor friend of mine and we were looking at the grammar rules for usage and couldn’t stop laughing.

We just invented a new example sentence of the use of the long s that he’s going to use in class this semester, so you’re all welcome, students.

“That certainly is a fuccefs of a word” (the round s is always used as the final letter in words that end with s)

Yes we are just repeating Fuck Efs at each other. Mature adults, us.

It's #NationalAardvarkWeek! Besides being one of my favorite mammals, it's also the most evolutionarily distinct one (more on that below). Stay tuned for more aardvark art and info all week long! 😎 #AardvarksAareAawesome

"Erdferkel," Plate 14 in Brehms thierleben, allgemeine kunde des thierreichs, 1876-9. Biodiversity Heritage Library.

#DYK the Aardvark (Orycteropus afer) is the only living representative of an entire ORDER of mammals, Tubulidentata? This helped it score as the #1 most evolutionarily distinctive (ED) mammal on ZSL's EDGE of Existence list:

[FYI the only other mammal order with a single living member is Microbiotheria, represented by the Monito del Monte (Dromiciops gliroides) - however they have more living relatives one step out in superorder Australidelphia than the Aardvark does in the Afrotheria.]

"It's on the internet archives" "You can just buy the eBook" "there's probably a pdf somewhere out there 　you can pirate" those are all very valid and very good options and alternatives but have you considered I don't want to spend hours upon hours looking at a screen until my vision gets blurry because the eye strain gives me headaches and it's also bad for the eyes in general because the blue rays damage your retina and also it gives me headaches and makes my eyes hurt

"Real glory is fame in front of God, not in front of sons of men."

"The real calmness of mind is virtue and modesty."

Christian Fürchtegott Gellert, published and printed 1790 by Thomas von Trattern. This edition is a collection of selected letters, several wormholes are decorating this book.

Presenting Christian Fürchtegott Gellert - Moral philosopher, poet of Enlightment, narrator of fables and valued for his clear and prosaic style. The first time I read from him in praisings of my beloved Wieland & Lessing and later read of the correspondence with C. K. Schlegel. In the Transition Epoch of so many wonderful genre of literature, Gellert is one of the most read writers.

The printing procedure is also very interesting and highlighting the problems of censorship in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation at that time. Throughout human history books were be banned, because of (political) content.

In Habsburg Royal Hungary Thomas von Trattern could not only elude censorship, but also print cost-effective, so that even famous poets and writers (Goethe, Schiller, Herder, Lessing, Wieland, Gellert ...) could be re-printed and were therefore more accessable to the public.

The current legal situation in Austria allowed a freer form of expression, but Thomas von Trattern saw himself walled in hostility by German printing offices, especially by Grant Printers of Leipzig (cf. Philipp Erasmus Reich).

It is a huge luck that so many great books survived censorship and withstand over different political systems. It is hard enough, that so many works are lost or just passed on in extract... After prayers, books are my favourite medium of conversation.

It gives me the strenght to survive the life, words are soothing balm, I lacked consulation throughout my childhood. I am so thankfull, that I can read and escape from physical circumstances and transcend into eternal fields.
