Description
The workshop provides a platform to delve into the rich tradition of tables and diagrams in Middle Eastern manuscripts. We invite contributions that examine various aspects of these visual representations, including their historical contexts, symbolic meanings, cultural significance, and methodological approaches.
The topics include the evolution of tables and diagrams, analysis of specific types of tables and diagrams, comparative studies across different manuscript traditions, the role of tables and diagrams in knowledge transmission and dissemination, digital tools and techniques for analyzing and reconstructing tables and diagrams.
This across-discipline workshop covers manuscripts in various languages, including, but not limited to, Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Ethiopian*, Hebrew, Persian, and Syriac, in addition to the ancient languages of Egypt and Mesopotamia.
