[Andalusi Studies] New Codicology Course in El Escorial

[NMC]

Dear all,

We are organizing the VI ARABIC CODICOLOGY Intensive Summer Course in El
Escorial in June 2019. You can apply until the 15th of April.
More info: mss.arabicscript at gmail.com and
https://arabiccodicologycourse.weebly.com/programme.html

The VI edition of the course *Arabic Codicology: the Islamic manuscript
heritage in the El Escorial Collection* will provide the students with the
basic codicological knowledge and the research procedures needed to study
and analyze Arabic manuscripts. Moreover, it will familiarize them with the
libraries of the Arabic-Islamic world in Medieval and Modern times,
particularly with the library that belonged to the Moroccan sultan Muley
Zaydān.

The course is designed on an eminently practical dynamic. In the evenings,
the students will be able to apply the theoretical knowledge previously
acquired in the mornings to the actual manuscripts hosted at the Royal
Library of the Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial (RBME). This is the
most important Arabic Manuscript Collection of Spain and one of the most
relevant in Europe.

The venues of the summer courses are a privileged location due to the
proximity to the Library. The course will be taught entirely in English by
leading experts in Arabic Codicology Prof. Nuria de Castilla
<https://ephe.academia.edu/NuriadeCastilla> (EPHE, PSL, Paris) and
Prof. François
Déroche <https://www.college-de-france.fr/site/francois-deroche/index.htm>
(CdF, PSL, Paris). It is sponsored by the European project SICLE
<https://sicle.hypotheses.org/> ("Saadian Intellectual and Cultural Life",
ERC 670628) and is designed for historians, art historians, philologists,
documentalists, antiquarians, curators, bibliophiles, conservation
specialists, etc., preferably with a Master’s degree.


We shall appreciate if you can spread this information. With my best wishes


Nuria de Castilla
