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
This presentation recounts the story of the greatest Georgian national Poet Shota Rustaveli’s fresco, preserved in the Monastery of the Holy Cross (Jerusalem), which was rescued from disappearing into the abyss of history, with the help of the Lailashi Codex. The rescuer and the rescued – Shota Rustaveli and the Lailashi Codex – will meet, for the first time, over the Bodleian Library manuscripts, including rare editions of Rustaveli’s epic poem The Knight in the Panther’s Skin. The presentation is based on Chapter Four of my book ‘Lailashi Codex: The Crown of Georgian Jewry.’
