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 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.
