You are invited to the book launch for Emperor John II Komnenos: Rebuilding New Rome 1118-1143 (OUP) on Friday 9th of February, to be held in the Naz Shah Centre, Worcester College Oxford, and supported by the Oxford Centre for Byzantine Research.
This groundbreaking work of Byzantine history is the product of almost a decade of fieldwork and research by Dr Maximilian Lau, Junior Research Fellow at Worcester College Oxford, who was previously a President of the Oxford Byzantine Society and a doctoral student of Mark Whittow.
The event will start at 6pm with a few words from Dr Catherine Holmes and Dr James Howard-Johnston on the book, before a drinks reception. In order to assess numbers, we'd greatly appreciate hearing from you all before Wednesday 7th February.
Thank you very much and we hope to see you there!
