Bringing the medieval Islamicate East to the forefront of research
We are a research programme on the 8th-13th century Islamicate world in Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asia. We transcribe, translate and analyse some of the oldest texts written in New Persian, Judeo-Persian, Arabic, Bactrian, Sogdian, Khotanese and Middle Persian, in order to shed new light on political, financial and legal infrastructures, and religious diversity of the region.
