  1. Is "Hilary 2008" a political message? Or where the seminar is to be held?

  2. Neither. It is 'Hilary', not 'Hillary' (presuming you were thinking of the US presidential candidate). And it refers to when rather than where. The second Oxford term is called 'Hilary' because it begins round about the feast of St Hilary of Poitiers. The seminar, as the post explains, will take place in the aula at Blackfriars, on Thursdays from 16.30 to 18.00.

  3. I hope these lectures could be posted on line? I live near the OP House of Studies in Washington DC. I wish I could attend all the lectures! They sound most edifying.
