About this event
Disassembled on Mt Athos in the thirteenth century, the manuscript’s 82 pages are now spread across multiple museums and monasteries. This talk tells the story of the manuscript and outlines how we recovered the text of 73 additional now-lost pages.
FREE Hybrid Talk: This lecture will be delivered in the Reference Library.
No booking required for onsite talk, please register for online viewing via Zoom.
