The Sixth Islamic Manuscript Conference

Central Asian Islamic Manuscripts and Manuscript Collections

8-10 July 2010, Queens' College, University of Cambridge, UK

Call For Papers

The Islamic Manuscript Association is pleased to announce that the
Sixth Islamic Manuscript Conference will be held at Queens' College,
University of Cambridge from 8-10 July 2010.  The Conference will be
hosted by the Thesaurus Islamicus Foundation and the Prince Alwaleed
Bin Talal Centre of Islamic Studies, University of Cambridge.  The
theme of the Conference will be Central Asian Islamic manuscripts and
manuscript collections.

The Association invites the submission of abstracts on topics related
to the study of Islamic manuscripts – particularly codicology – and
the care and management of Islamic manuscript collections. Preference
will be shown to submissions pertaining to the Conference's theme. The
Conference will be organised around the Association's four key working
areas: cataloguing, conservation, digitisation, and research and
publishing; and papers falling into these broad categories will be
included in the relevant panel.  The Association will also consider
submissions on topics that do not fall directly under the purviews of
the working groups but are yet concerned with scholarship on Islamic
manuscripts or the care and management of Islamic manuscript
collections.  Please note that the total number of papers accepted
will not exceed 25 and that preference will be given to speakers who
have not presented papers at the Association's previous conferences.

The invitation is open to members and non-members of the Association.
The languages of the Conference will be Arabic and English and
submissions will be accepted in both languages.  The deadline for
submissions is 31 January 2010.  Late submissions will not be
considered.  The duration of each conference paper is 30 minutes
inclusive of 10 minutes of questions and answers.

Please send an abstract of 500 words, a resume and the attached cover
sheet to the Association's Executive Committee at the below email, fax
