OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

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.
