🌌 What can a handwritten note in a centuries-old manuscript tell us?

Who read it? Who corrected it? Who studied it, copied it, owned it — and passed its knowledge on?

📜 Join us for the 4th OIB-COSIMENA Research Colloquium IV: Diverse Sciences in Islamic Civilization – Science in the Service of Knowledge, organized by the DAAD Regional Office Cairo in cooperation with the Orient-Institut Beirut (OIB).

🔭 “Writing the Heavens: Arabic Astronomical Manuscripts and Their Readers”

Dr. Nadine Loehr, researcher and publications manager at the Institute for the History of Arabic-Islamic Sciences at Goethe University Frankfurt, will take us beyond the written text and into the fascinating world of Arabic astronomical manuscripts.

Through annotations, commentaries, diagrams, corrections and ownership notes, these manuscripts reveal the traces left by generations of astronomers, scribes, students and patrons — showing how astronomical knowledge was read, reshaped and transmitted across the Islamicate world.
