For #CoffeeWithACodex on February 27, curator Dot Porter will bring out Ms. Codex 1329, a 13th-century copy of Haimo's 9th-century commentary on the Song of Solomon, with an unusual layout presenting the biblical lemmata in the margins enclosed in decorated circles and triangles.

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.

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.

Wishing you all a wonderful week. I'm super excited to see those of you coming out to the Revenge of the Dragon event in Monroe WA this weekend. It's bound to be a hopping good time. ^^

Best!

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.

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!
