A team from the Mobile Lab returns today from a two-week field trip at the Gotha Research Library where they examined early Qur’anic manuscripts in the collection to shed new light on the history of these objects.

This spring, the Gotha Manuscript Talks, a series organised by the Gotha Research Library in cooperation with Konrad Hirschler at the CSMC, returns with lectures on four Wednesday evenings from 5 March to 7 May.

Talks, panel discussions, and workshops: This April, a multifaceted event jointly organised by the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe (MK&G) and the CSMC explores the intersections of Arabic and Persian graphic design with cultural, political, and artistic narratives.
