'St Catherine’s Monastery at Mount Sinai'

The Study Day in Memory of Professor Ihor Ševčenko, held on 27 November 2010 at the Ioannou Centre for Classical and Byzantine Studies, University of Oxford, focused attention within the scholarly community on the conservation work being carried out on the important collection of ancient and medieval manuscripts housed in the library of Saint Catherine’s Monastery at Mount Sinai, Egypt. This conservation work is organised and funded by the Saint Catherine Foundation.

The lectures listed below were given, many by colleagues at Oxford, to commemorate the contribution made to the study of the Sinai monastery by Ihor Ševčenko of Harvard University. He was a member of the Board of Directors of the American Associates of the Saint Catherine Foundation, as well as past Visiting Fellow of both All Souls and Wolfson Colleges, Oxford and member of the Editorial Board of Oxford Studies in Byzantium.
