BIPS Workshop - Interactions of Muslim Intellectuals and Institutions with Those of Other Faiths in the Medieval Persianate World

This event is organised by the British Institute of Persian Studies

This workshop will examine the reality of interactions between Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Zoroastrian and other traditions in the period of the 7^th-15^th century CE. The enquiry has its focus on religious, philosophical, and literary themes in the Persianate world, but the evidence of material culture is also keenly relevant.
