Please find below the following forthcoming events in the Centre for Hellenic Studies, KCL:

Tuesday 1 March, 17.30-19.00
Four miniatures recently rediscovered: Christian Art in Muslim Anatolia and manuscript trade in 20th-century Europe<http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/ahri/eventrecords/2015-2016/CHS/Miniatures.aspx>
SW1.09, Somerset House East Wing, Strand Campus
This lecture by Ioanna Rapti (École pratique des Hautes Études, Paris) will focus on four miniatures from a private collection, which belonged to a quire containing a prefatory cycle of illustrations that has been removed from an Armenian Gospel book. Comparison with other leaves from the same manuscript will attempt to reconstruct the initial programme of the book, while evidence from the colophons will supplement our understanding of a rather overlooked masterpiece of Armenian illumination. Finally the removal of the quire, its arrival to Europe and its eventual dissemination will introduce the issue of the appreciation of Eastern Christian art in European connoisseurship and art trade.
Part of the Late Antique & Byzantine seminar series.
This event is open to all and free to attend. Booking is not required.

Monday 7 March, 17.30-19.00
