CALL FOR PAPERS: The Tenth Islamic Manuscript Conference


Manuscripts and Conflict
31 August-2 September 2014, Magdalene College, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom

The Islamic Manuscript Association is pleased to announce that the Tenth Islamic Manuscript Conference will be held at Magdalene College, University of Cambridge from 31 August-2 September 2014. The conference will be hosted in cooperation with the Thesaurus Islamicus Foundation and the HRH Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Centre of Islamic Studies, University of Cambridge.

The Tenth Islamic Manuscript Conference will be an occasion to reflect on progress in conservation, preservation, cataloguing, digitization and research relating to Islamic manuscripts and manuscript collections during the decade since the founding of the Association and to look ahead to anticipated developments in these fields over the next ten years. The conference’s special theme — Manuscripts and Conflict — will also constitute a timely opportunity to consider the above subject areas within the intensifying contexts of acute social and political instability or military conflict. Invited keynote speakers, round table sessions, poster presentations, and workshops will promote active participation in a cutting-edge discussion of these subjects.
