[Onur Inal]

EXTENSION OF DEADLINE: NOW 31 JANUARY 2008

THIRD SYMPOSIUM ON THE HISTORY OF PRINTING IN THE LANGUAGES AND COUNTRIES OF
THE MIDDLE EAST
LEIPZIG, 25-27 SEPTEMBER 2008
CALL FOR PAPERS

Following two successful international symposia on The History of Printing
and Publishing in the Languages and Countries of the Middle East, held at
the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz (2002) and at the Bibliothèque nationale de
France in Paris (2005), we are now convening the third meeting on the same
themes. This will take place in Leipzig, 25-27 September 2008, and it will
form part of the 24th Congress of the Union européenne des arabisants et
islamisants (UEAI). This Symposium, however, will not be confined to
printing in Arabic and Muslim languages, but will, as before, cover all
Middle Eastern languages and scripts: Arabic, Armenian, Berber, Coptic,
Georgian, Hebrew, Kurdish, Persian, Syriac, Turkish, etc.

Some of the specific themes which may be discussed and developed in the
conference papers are the following (but other suggestions are most
welcome):

# Middle Eastern printing before Gutenberg
# The origins and developments of European typography in Middle Eastern
scripts 
# The arrival and development of typography in the Middle East 
# The aesthetic and practical dimensions of Middle Eastern typography
(design, cognitive effects, etc.) 
# Lithography in the Middle East 
# The printing, publishing and readership of newspapers and magazines [but
not their journalistic, intellectual or literary content] 
# Aspects of descriptive and analytical bibliography of early and rare
Middle Eastern printed material 
# The history of Middle Eastern publishing, and its social, economic, and
literary consequences 
# The history of publishing in Middle Eastern languages outside the Middle
East 
# The art and techniques of illustrations in printed books and periodicals

The working languages of the Symposium are English, French and German.
Papers should not exceed 20 minutes. Please send proposals, as soon as
possible, and not later than 31 January 2008, using the UEAI Congress
