Codicology Workshop

1-4 September 2007
Magdalene College, Cambridge

The workshop will be led by Prof. Dr. Jan Just Witkam, Professor of Paleography and Codicology of the Islamic World at Leiden University and will be based on Prof. François Déroche's book, Manuel de codicologie des manuscrits en écriture arabe, which has been translated into English and Arabic.

As this workshop will include examination and discussion of manuscripts held by the University of Cambridge and college libraries, the number of participants is strictly limited. Places will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Priority will be given to TIMA members.

The workshop is now full.
We are not accepting any more participants.
