Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
This ‘Lincoln Unlocked’ lecture showcases Linc. Coll. MS lat. 27, a medieval manuscript containing the first-century CE epic poem of the life of Achilles, the Achilleid, by the Latin poet Statius. Owned by prominent Lincoln College donor and English humanist Robert Fleming, the manuscript unlocks a world of medieval and humanist intellectual culture. Examining the extensive notes added to this manuscript poem illuminates the ways in which the Classics were read and valued in the Middle Ages.
A display of Bodleian and Lincoln College manuscripts will situate Linc. Coll. MS Lat.27 amongst manuscripts of Statius and Lincoln’s special collections.
