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.
The medieval Islamicate world left extraordinary records. Help us preserve them- click here to donate!
