Document Reuse in Medieval Arabic Manuscripts

Hirschler, Konrad

The new project Document Reuse in Medieval Arabic Manuscripts aims at creating a new corpus of documents from Syria. For this end it explores and digitally reconstructs the material that medieval Arabic scribes reused to produce new manuscripts. Taking the case study of Syria between the twelfth and the fifteenth centuries CE, it will show that documents and other texts did survive in many more contexts than have been considered hitherto.
