OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Shota Rustaveli and the Lailashi Codex: The Story with the Bodleian Library Manuscripts (Wardrop Colls)
A follow-up presentation is scheduled to commemorate the 65th Anniversary of the discovery of the Rustaveli Fresco.
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.’
