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
This seminar explores the codicological and documentary evidence for reconstructing the contents and organisation of the libraries of ecclesiastical and academic institutions in the Middle Ages. It provides an introduction to two key resources for the study of medieval libraries: N R Ker’s Medieval Libraries of Great Britain (and its online counterpart MLGB3) and the Corpus of British Medieval Library Catalogues, before focusing upon the remarkable record of the library of the Augustinian canons of Leicester Abbey that survives in the Bodleian as MS Laud. Misc. 623.
