[Bilimsel Haber] Conf: "The Renaissance and the Ottoman World", London, 26-27 April 2006

[Onur İnal]

Dear colleagues,

A conference entitled "The Renaissance and the Ottoman World" is to be held at the Warburg Institute and the School of Oriental and African Studies, London, 26-27 April 2006.

Organised by Charles Burnett (Warburg Institute), Anna Contadini (SOAS), and Claire Norton (St. Mary's College, University of Surrey), this conference brings together an international group of eminent scholars in order to present the latest research on the cultural, intellectual, artistic and commercial interactions between Christian Europe and the Ottoman Empire during the Renaissance. It has been timed to coincide with the National Gallery's 2006 exhibition, Bellini and the East. For the first day, which will emphasise interactions in the field of the humanities, the Warburg Institute will be the host; on the second day, the conference will transfer to the neighbouring School of Oriental and African Studies, where artistic relations will be considered. The individual papers will examine a number of key aspects, including artistic, philosophical and scientific exchanges; the reception and use of Ottoman artefacts in Europe; European and Ottoman architecture; the extent of Western knowledge of Ottoman music; and the experience of Christians in Islamic lands and Muslims in Christendom.

Further details of the conference, including information on booking a place, can be found at: http://www2.sas.ac.uk/warburg/lectures/ottomans.htm
