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 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.
