Research in Early Islamic Central Asia

For months a team of the Universität Hamburg headed by Stefan Heidemann in conjunction with the ERC project  “The Early Islamic Empire at Work” and the “Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures” exchanged emails for a co-operation with Uzbek institutions.

On April 11, 2019, high-ranking delegates from the Center for the Civilisation of Islam and the Scientific Research Center Imam al-Bukhari in Samarqand visited the Universität Hamburg.  They introduced their institutions and their research profiles. Then current projects in Hamburg and joined future projects of mutual interest in the field of the study of the Early Islamic Empire and Manuscript Cultures were presented by scholars from Hamburg and Uzbekistan.
