The History and Culture of the Village of Toula in northern Lebanon [12 May 2011]
An exhibition titled 'The History and Culture of the Village of Toula in northern Lebanon' was held on 12 May 2011, at the Medieval and Early Modern Centre, School of Letters, Art and Media, Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences, the University of Sydney. The Exhibition was held at the Common Room, John Woolley Building, A20. A copy of the Notice for the Exhibition is attached. The Lecture was delivered by Dr Nicholas Hardwick, Curatorial Director of the Museum.
'The History and Culture of the Village of Toula in northern Lebanon' was about the village which is one of the focusses of the museum. This was a general lecture, and the mediaeval themes include early church history and the late Roman patron saint of the village Saint Assia (d. 400), the romanesque church in the village, and the Maronite Church and its relations to the Roman Catholic Church. This was not a research lecture, but presents the village and the museum.
