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
The exhibition celebrates Christ Church’s collection of early editions of the Book of Common Prayer and related material which bears witness to a tumultuous period of religious and political history. Highlights of the exhibition include William Tyndale’s New Testament of 1526; the controversial first Scottish Prayer Book of 1637, prepared for the Church of Scotland under the direction of Archbishop Laud; and a 1651 first edition of Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan, a masterpiece of political theory inspired by experience of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.
Sarah Mortimer will give a short talk about the prayer book and early modern religion, and there will be a chance to see the exhibition with some refreshments.
All are welcome – please RSVP to mailto:library@chch.ox.ac.uk
Please note that access to the Upper Library is by stairs only and may cause difficulty for anyone with limited mobility.
