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.
The great churches of the Middle Ages frequently kept lists of the relics they possessed. There are certainly hundreds and perhaps thousands of such lists, detailing a vast number of holy objects, the majority of them corporeal remains. Analysis of these lists can throw light on such subjects as the geographical patterns of individual cults, but they can also be approached as a gateway to the specific sacral profile of a particular church. The relic list compiled by Geoffroy de Courlon, monk of St.-Pierre-le-Vif of Sens, in 1293, will be analysed for what it shows of the composition of the relic collection of the monastery and the process whereby it was assembled.
All welcome
