[Hany Rashwan]

Dear colleagues and friends,

I hope my email finds you and your beloved ones well.

I am delighted to share the final program for our upcoming 15 -16 November
2024 conference, "Translation and Multilingualism in the Premodern Islamic
World(s)." Florian Zemmin and I are co-organizing the conference.

For two days, 24 esteemed scholars will present thought-provoking papers on
often-overlooked aspects of translation and multilingualism in the
premodern Islamic world. This is open to the public, and no prior
registration is required. All sessions will be recorded and made available
on the AGYA YouTube channel for those unable to attend in person.



We have six keynote speakers with excellent papers:

*Beatrice Gründler, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany: Arabic Lingua Franca
and Popular Philosophy

*Fatemeh Keshavarz, University of Maryland, USA: Wild Birds Cannot be Sold:
Rumi on Translating Wordlessness and Speech

*Dimitri Gutas, Yale University, USA: Language Politics and Translation in
Multilingual Near East in Early Islam

*Louise Marlow, Wellesley College, USA: Arabic-Persian Bilingualism and
Translation in Ilkhanid Iran

*Ross Brann, Cornell University, USA: Islamicate Jewish Religious and
Literary Intellectuals on the Status of Arabic and Hebrew

*Geert Jan van Gelder, University of Oxford, United Kingdom: The Ultimate
Domesticising Translation into Arabic

A prestigious publisher will publish the conference proceedings.
