The colloquy was aimed to promote an open dialogue and create further momentum for change, and was held on the 19th of June 2012, at the London Hellenic Centre. The event was timed to coincide with the third anniversary of the opening of the new Acropolis Museum and the occasion of the 2012 London Olympics one month later. In 2012, three leading campaigning organisations for the reunification of the Parthenon Marbles, from Australia, UK and USA, joined forces and organised an International Colloquy that was held in London. The reunification of a global icon as the Parthenon will benefit not only the Greek people but the world community who will be able to admire and study the narrative of the collection in its intended state. Due to tireless efforts by Global citizens and an increasingly positive world public opinion the case for reunification is gaining momentum towards a commonly accepted solution. What the world needs to be aware of is that an integral part of the structure and decoration of this monument (the collection of the Parthenon Marbles) was removed and has been kept away for over 200 years. This can be seen in any building that reflects these values (court houses, banks, museums etc). Its shape has been associated with beauty, perfection and stature. It does not store any personal data.The Parthenon has become a symbol of global citizenship recognised all over the world.

#Colloquy plugins full#
The Colloquiesare presented with an English translation, glosses and full notes.
Combining the spare diction of his teacher Aelfric with the ornate glossematic vocabulary of Aldhelm, Aelfric Bata creates a cloistered world where comedy, invective, sermon and poetic recitation mix. One colloquy depicts a flyting between master and student, who exchange graphic scatologicalinsults. Oblates ask a master's help in reading, bargain for a manuscript-copying job, obtain help in sharpening a pen. Bata's Colloquies, Latin conversations set in a monastic school, open a door into the world of Anglo-Saxon monasticism, revealing the details of daily activities: rising and dressing, studying the day's lesson, eating, bathing and tonsuring. The monk Aelfric Bata is the only identifiable graduate of the school of Aelfric `Grammaticus', the tenth-century Anglo-Saxon homilist whose Grammar, Glossary and Colloquyformed part of an educational plan for English boys.
Translation (and text) of colloquies gives vivid picture of Anglo-Saxon monastic education.
