The German Historical Institutes of Paris and Rome are launching a second online seminar series on "Euro-Mediterranean Entanglements in Medieval History" in the academic year 2022/2023. The events will take place every two months and are addressed to both young and established scholars from all medieval disciplines. The aim is to create an international and interdisciplinary forum where diverse topics and methodological approaches can be presented and discussed.

Postgraduate Symposium: Muslims in the UK and Europe
Study of the historical origins of Islam and the caliphate has been dogged by one major problem. The earliest Arabic texts which produce our most detailed descriptions of these events were compiled in the 3rd hijrī century, some 200 or more years after the events they describe. Sceptics have argued that these texts are unreliable, reflecting later political and religious debates rather than genuine historical memory.
Please join us for a symposium on Arabic-script calligraphy taking place at the Qatar America Institute for Culture (QAIC) in Washington DC on Saturday, May 7 from 10am to 2pm.
The programme of the Summerschool on Philology and Manuscripts from the Middle East of the Leiden University Centre for the Study of Islam and Society is now avaliable.
