For #CoffeeWithACodex on July 24, Curator Dot Porter will bring out LJS 293, a copy of the text On calculation with integers and fractions. The text was originally composed in the Maghrib, this copy written in Baghdad in A.H. 590 (1194).

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.
