John Greaves's Marginalia Workshop
Please join us virtually on Friday 4 June 2021, for the first workshop of the project: Arabic Books and Astronomy in Seventeenth Century Oxford. This project is a short-term pilot survey sponsored by St John’s College, University of Oxford, to analyse the Arabic and Persian MSS on astronomical topics held in two Oxford libraries, St John’s College, and the Bodleian. Its focus is notes written on the MSS by the seventeenth-century Oxford scholars who used them, in this case multilingual marginalia and interlinear notes by John Greaves, which we will annotate and digitize.
