Warden’s Meeting, as guests of Henry Woudhuysen
Rector’s Lodgings, Lincoln College
Bibliophiles may be interested in this talk: Collecting the Qur'an : Tuesday, 9 June, 1800 BST
Want to know more about the history of the early printed Qur'an in the Muslim world? Nick McBurney will be discussing this surprisingly under-explored subject with Roxana Kashani (Bloomsbury Auctions) discussing the manuscript Qur'an, and Alex Day (Bernard Quaritch) on the Qur'an in the West.
It will be on Zoom with a runtime of about an hour, including Q&A.
If you would like to attend, please email Sara Trevisan ([email protected]) to register your interest and receive details for the webinar.
This is the final seminar-turned-webinar in the series on book collecting arranged by the Antiquarian Booksellers' Association Educational Trust & the Institute of English Studies.
It is with the greatest sadness that OUSB has heard of the death of Colin Franklin, beloved Honorary President and longest standing member of the Bibliophiles.
Perfect host and perfect bibliophile, The Warden's Meeting at his house in Culham was an inspirational termly event; his stories of priceless rarities and picaresque provenance fired even the most stolid into a rapturous stupor for the love of books.
We hope to organise a fitting memorial in due course, and would be delighted to hear from anyone who would like to contribute.
A competition which will interest many Oxford Bibliophiles. We encourage you to enter!
Term cards out! Be quick to get your membership, if you want to receive a fancy hand-printed programme of events for MT19!
WEEK 2 event - visit to Balliol’s Historic Collection. If interested, drop us a line at [email protected] and book your place.
