Aramaic and Iranian Scripts on the Silk Roads

Dates: 16-Sep-2024 - 18-Sep-2024
Location: Naples

Focus: L’Orientale Unit of the PRIN 2020 project “Cultural
interactions and language contacts: Iranian and non-Iranian languages
in contact from the past to the present” is delighted to announce the
Summer School “Aramaic and Iranian Scripts on the Silk Roads”. The
Summer School focuses on a significant quota of manuscript finds in
Iranian and Semitic languages stemming from the oasis of Turfan/Turpan
on the upper branch of the Silk Road, mainly resulting from the
activity of the four German expeditions (1902-1914) organized by the
then Museum für Asienkunde (today Museum für Asiatische Kunst) in
Berlin. The Manichaean and Christian MSS, in different writings,
ultimately derived from the Aramaic script, and in Syriac and multiple
Middle Iranian languages (Parthian, Middle Persian, Manichaean and
Christian Sogdian, Bactrian) represent both a variety and quality of
extraordinary interest for the instruction and entertainment of
younger scholars interested in disciplines as diverse as Iranian
philology, Semitics, Christian literature and missionary activity in
Asia, Manichaeology, History of Religions, Languages and Cultures in
Contact. Furthermore, an overview of the Jewish-Iranian languages is
offered in order to draw attention to one of the modern survivors
deeply rooted in Central Asia in view of audiences particularly
interested in Asian ethnology and religious history. The legacy of
Buddhist culture is beyond the scope of the Summer School.
Minimum Education Level: MA, PhD students, PhD, scholars at the
beginning

Special Qualifications:
The Summer School is designed especially for MA graduates and PhD
students who wish to develop their expertise in Iranian philology,
Semitics, Christian literature and missionary activity in Asia,
Manichaeology, History of Religions, Languages and Cultures in
Contact, Asian Ethnology and Religious History.

 It would also be beneficial for scholars at the beginning of their
careers who aspire to expand their knowledge in any of the previously
mentioned disciplines.

Description:
The program of the Summer School includes 6 lectures and 4 seminars:
four guest scholars, of internationally recognized expertise, together
with members of our PRIN team shall deliver the lectures and direct
the seminars.

Why in Naples? In addition to the original Napolitan pizza and the
beauty of the panorama that will leave you breathless, the Summer
School offers a guided tour of the ‘Neapolitan Turfan’, namely the
Archeological Park of Herculaneum along with the special visit to the
Villa of the Papyri (where a library of ca. 2000 papyri was discovered
in 1750), normally closed to the public.

Is it possible to join in distance learning mode? The Summer School
will not be run in distance learning mode since the social network
during coffee breaks, lunches, the social dinner and the trip to
Herculaneum are intended to be an integral part of the program.
