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. Events are on Thursdays at 12pm Noon EST / 5pm GMT.

On January 18, Curator Dot Porter will bring out Ms. Codex 1233, a breviary for use in the diocese of Cologne, probably in the Kölner Dom (cathedral). Made in the 15th century, it was used, annotated, and repaired through to the end of the 18th century. 

Register to attend.

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

Hope to see you there!!

Listen here:

Gregorian chant - Deum verum

Medieval music feat. Hildegard of Bingen

Hymnody - All People That on Earth Do Dwell (Tune: Old Hundredth)

Transitional - We Are Many Parts (Marty Haugen)

Contemporary - Here I Am to Worship (performed by Chris Tomlin)

Had a bit of a spat with my parish priest about this recently, so I'm taking it to Tumblr to see what all you think.

Bonus points if you explain why that's your favorite type of music in the tags or reblogs.

Are you ever at Mass and you can't tell if a song is in English or Latin so you start making up a little of both 😬

Fake Church Latin is a truly Catholic language to experience and create

I did it a few weekends ago and the person next to me said "huh I didn't know there was a Latin verse to this song" and I sat there like... "this is English?!?!?" 🤷

The poll by @catholic-saint-tournament reminded me of this lovely story so I thought I'd post it

As a convert who helps with the music ministry, I love and appreciate the era of liturgical music that sounds like Peter, Paul, and Mary (the band).

I appreciate Vatican II for many reasons, but I love how it makes so much of our music sound wonderfully 1960s.

Ms. Codex 1233 is a pretty amazing manuscript. Originally written in the early-to-mid 15th century, it was used continuously through the end of the 18th century. Written in Cologne and probably used by the canons in the Cologne Cathedral, this notated breviary (a liturgical book containing the canonical hours - daily prayers - with musical notation) includes notes and additions made up to 1794. It also includes splatters of candle wax and one page that got a little too close to a candle!
