OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Book Launch of The Mishnaic Moment
A lecture to celebrate the launch of The Mishnaic Moment: Jewish Law among Jews and Christians in Early Modern Europe, edited by Piet van Boxel, Kirsten Macfarlane, and Joanna Weinberg.
The Mishnaic Moment offers a unique study of a remarkable encounter between Jews and Christians in seventeenth-century northern Europe, when scholars from both communities were printing, producing, and discussing commentaries on the canonical corpus of Jewish Law, the Mishnah. The volume culminates in an examination of the monumental production in six volumes of an edition and Latin translation of the Mishnah, published by Guilielmus Surenhusius in Amsterdam between 1698 and 1703. For more details, please see OUP’s website.
Followed by a champagne reception.
