TORC – TOEBI Old English Reading Club
We would like to invite all members to our newest online group, TORC (TOEBI Old English Reading Club)!
The past year has been a chaotic and isolated time for many Old English researchers and enthusiasts. TORC offers a chance to meet other TOEBI members and discuss an Old English text over a hot cup of tea or even some mead!
Everyone is welcome, whether you are an expert or newcomer, a postgraduate or a professor.
Non-TOEBI members will need to join TOEBI first HERE.
If you have any questions, please contact Abigail.Williams@nottingham.ac.uk or N.J.Mogford@bham.ac.uk.
Next meeting:
24th February 6pm GMT on Zoom
A Voyage of Ohthere: Discussing fake-deers, wastelands and ells.
In this session, we will look at a passage from one of the voyages of Ohthere in the Old English translation of Orosius’ Historia adversus paganos (History against the pagans). This session will be a little different. As there are so many interesting points in this section, I would like for each person read through the passage and focus on a particular line(s) which have an engaging concept/theme/piece of language. It is up to you!
