Miha Zor holds MA degrees in Comparative Literature, Literary Theory and Linguistics. He is currently completing his doctoral studies in Art History (University of Ljubljana), focusing on illuminated Arthurian manuscripts of the late 13th and early 14th centuries, their stylistic and iconographical relationships and development, and the dynamics between literary and pictorial narration. As speaker, he attended several international conferences (Helsinki, Bucharest, Leeds, Kalamazoo, Würzburg, York, Durham, Ljubljana), and is a member of the International Arthurian Society (British Branch). In addition to his academic pursuits, he works at the National Radio and Television of Slovenia as pronunciation coach, film critic, audio describer, radio announcer and newsreader.

The following interview with Christopher Clarkson was recorded during his visit to Ljubljana in 2008. Most of his time was spent leading a workshop in the National Archives of Slovenia, and he also delivered a public lecture in the Department for Art History at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana. I worked as a journalist in the cultural programme of the National Radio of Slovenia at that point and I invited him to be the guest of the programme Ars Humana, where the following interview with him—in Slovene translation—aired on 24th of November 2008. The audio file has been released by the Radio Slovenia for this publication (Zor and Clarkson, 2008).
