OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all 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 as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, 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.’
