Persian Manuscripts Association Fourth International Conference Leaves in the Wind: Fragmentology of Persianate Manuscripts

Bringing together scholars working on dispersed Persianate and Islamicate manuscripts and fragments, using traditional and digital methods. About the Conference This conference proposes to explore the reconstruction – material, intellectual, and digital – of dispersed manuscripts and fragments, in all traditions of the vast geographical region of Greater Iran and eastern Islamic lands, including (but not limited to) Persian, Arabic, Armenian, as well as Avestan and Middle Persian (Pahlavi) codices within Zoroastrian traditions. Manuscripts from the Persianate world and Islamicate lands are among the most widely dispersed written artefacts in global collections today.
