[Andalusi Studies] Codicology Course - Arabic Manuscripts at El Escorial 20-24 July 2015

[Nuria Martínez de Castilla Muñoz]

Dear colleague,


It is a pleasure for us to announce the course *Arabic Codicology: The
Islamic Handwritten Tradition and its Reception in the El Escorial
Collection*. This course, supported by al-Furqan Islamic Heritage
Foundation, will be held in the framework of the Complutense Summer Courses
in San Lorenzo de El Escorial (Madrid) from 20th to 24th July.


The course is directed by Dr. *Nuria Martínez-de-Castilla-Muñoz*, lecturer
at the Complutense University of Madrid, and taught by leading
international scholars in the field, among whom we are  pleased to
introduce Professor *François Déroche* (Collège de France, Paris, France)
and Professor *Adam Gacek* (McGill, Montréal, Canada), who will join again
to cooperate in such a programme.


The course aims to provide the student with the knowledge and academic
tools required for the study and analysis of manuscripts in Arabic script,
focusing on a practical approach. We have the privilege of attending the
step-by-step hands-on sessions in the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El
Escorial which houses the most important collection of manuscripts in
Arabic script in Spain and is one of the most relevant in Europe.


The course has been designed for scholars and professional working in the
field of manuscript studies and especially those in Arabic script:
Arabists, Philologists, Historians, Art Historians, Librarians, Archivists,
Restorers or Collectors. A detailed programme is attached to this document.
