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. Meetings are Thursdays at 12pm Noon EST / 5pm GMT.

At this week's #CoffeeWithACodex on February 15, Curator Dot Porter will bring out LJS 64, a collection of handmade diagrams, many with moving parts, designed to accompany the astronomical work Theoricae novae planetarum by 15th-century Austrian astronomer Georg von Peurbach. The diagrams demonstrate increasingly complex planetary motion.

Coffee With A Codex events are recorded and posted on our YouTube channel.

My first wip wednesday! Last year I finished the game Pentiment and proceeded to fall down a rather healthy deep wikipedia hole. That's when I started working on this! A pixel art version of The Anatomical Zodiac Man page from the illuminated manuscript Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. I have been working on it on/off ever since. Not sure when it'll be finished as it continues to be a massive time commitment. Here are some snippets in the meantime including an ungodly(heh) amount of fancy leaves. Also, did I mention this is all in Illustrator so it's technically a vector!

LJS 64 is a book of diagrams, many with moving parts, designed to accompany the work Theoricae novae planetarum by 15th-century Austrian Georg von Peurbach, who is considered one of the first modern astronomers. He was particularly interested in simplifying the Ptolemic system (which places the Earth in the center of the solar system). The diagrams in the book demonstrate increasingly complex planetary motion.
