On 16 November, the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden hosts an international symposium on 'The Learning and Teaching of Arabic in Early Modern Europe'.  This symposium will explore and celebrate the methods, the scholarly significance and the institutional background of Arabic teaching and learning at early modern European academies and universities.  Two keynote lectures on the Learning of Arabic in the Netherlands and in England will frame a series of presentations by leading authorities in the history of European Arabic studies.

Arabic in Context
congress
Leiden University, the Netherlands
2-3 November 2013

The year 2013 marks the 400th anniversary of Leiden’s chair in Arabic Language and Culture.  To celebrate this memorable event, the Leiden Institute for Area Studies and the Leiden University Centre for Linguistics will convene a congress that will bring together Arabicists, Semiticists, historians, and epigraphists to discuss original research on the pre- and early history of Arabic. 

We invite submissions on all topics dealing with the relationship between Arabic and other the Semitic and Afro-Asiatic languages.  We especially encourage interdisciplinary approaches that combine the fields of linguistics/philology and history to shed light on problems such as the distribution of Arabic epigraphy, the development of the Arabic script, the language of the Qur’an, and the linguistic geography of pre-Islamic Arabic.  These topics should only be considered as general guidelines and are not exhaustive.  Any paper dealing with Arabic in its historical and linguistic context will be considered.

Call deadline: 15 August 2013 (NOT 15th September as announced earlier)
