Coffee With a Codex: Dictionary of the Arabic Language (LJS 387)

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. We meet over Zoom and everyone is welcome to attend.
On October 24, Curator Dot Porter brought out LJS 387, an illuminated 14th or 15th century copy of al-Qāmūs al-muḥīṭ, a dictionary of the Arabic language originally compiled between 1368 and 1392.
