Fscire in Bologna is launching a call for applications for its ReIReS School on the Use and Study of Special Documents, which will be held online from March 22 to March 26, 2021.
The school will make scholars familiar with special, less known and remote collections of the historia conciliorum like Mansi3 @mplissima digital library and the Roncalli papers. The analysis of the texts pertaining to Church history will be compared with similar analysis in the context of the Jewish and Islamic traditions, through the study of two key-studies presented by internationally renowned scholars who work in Bologna. Prof. Mauro Perani will present his discovery of the Sefer Torah scroll – the oldest complete Torah scroll – and Dr. Alba Fedeli will explain how she works on the Qur’anic fragments of the 7th century.
Common Objectives and Standards
