Subject: Conference on Islamic manuscripts
I have come to understand that there will be a conference on the Conservation of Islamic Manuscripts in Wimbledon, UK- originally planned for October, but now postponed till November 18th and 19th (?). This event will be sponsored by the al Furqan Islamic Trust, which has been involved in locating, cataloging, preserving, and translating a wide variety of Islamic manuscripts around te world. There was an announcement in the latest AIC News. Do any subscribers to this list plan on attending? If so, please respond to me personally. The number of people who have specialized in or have had experience in this area is very limited, and I'm sure that this conference will bring many topics to light.
