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 seminar will examine the development of Melkite law among the Arabic-speaking, Chalcedonian Orthodox Christians of Syria and Egypt from the seventh to the thirteenth century. On the one hand, it will explore the extent to which the Melkites maintained an independent legal tradition from Byzantium. On the other hand, the growing influence of Constantinople after the Byzantine conquest of Antioch in 969 and the impact of Islamic law on Melkite legal practices will be discussed.
