For #CoffeeWithACodex on April 3, Curator Dot Porter will bring out LJS 37 and LJS 460, an incomplete abridgment in Arabic of Euclid's Elements and a separate quire from the same manuscript, collected at different times. They were written on paper in A.H. 502 (1108-1109).

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.

A happy Mushroom Monday to you all.

In between orders, work continues on upgrades for both the shops booth and the Kingdom of Loreamour as this years faire season approaches.

One of this weeks' new flags is this mushroom one inspired by a 14th-15th collection of recipees called the Dorotheenkloster MS, and represents all the good memories I've had with these fantastic fungi over the years. Including cookouts with friends, mushroom season in Alaska with family, and so many more. 🍄

Wishing you all a magic filled week. May you spend it with those who make you feel mushy. ❤️

I'd like to introduce you to LJS 57, a compendium of Astronomical text in Hebrew, written in Spain around 1391. It's an interesting combination of astronomy and astrology, and illustrates how the division between "science" and "not science" was not nearly so clear in the past as it is today. It has some fantastic illustrations of constellations!

640-year-old fly, anyone?

We're not sure how long this fly has been in this 14th-century notary's notebook, but it was a favorite among the students who spotted it in class a few weeks ago.

Happy Makers Monday!

I spent some time over the weekend working on orders, including one of my favorite items in the shop, the Bunny Belt. :)

It's always fun working on these little murder buns.
