So this semester we're just focusing on this particular manuscript, which does have some Arabic sections- probably 80 percent is Persian, the rest Arabic, with sporadic Arabic lines sprinkled throughout as is typical of the pre-modern Persian tradition. In subsequent semesters we are open to exploring an Arabic text of a similar compilatory/complex nature however, so stay tuned!
@@openitiproject5971 Thank you for your reply. I personally am pretty much into Persian and Arabic ancient manuscripts mainly of Sufi backgrounds. What I wanted to inquire, though, was if you offer sessions for co-reading of such texts anywhere online? Thank you
@@IzonVez so this semester we have a Tuesday session for Persian, 10:30 am to 12 pm, that will definitely be featuring sufi texts in coming weeks- much of this particular volume falls broadly into the sufi orbit genre-wise. On Wednesdays we are doing an Ottoman Turkish session, 10 am to 11:30 am. If you're interested in joining the Persian group just shoot me an email at jallen22 @ umd.edu !
interesting but is this a Persian manuscript reading s session? Do you have the same for Arabic manuscripts too?
