Dear everyone (apologies for cross posting)
I am delighted to announce that next Wednesday, 8 July, we will be launching the Mingana Collection and Virtual Manuscript Room online. We are having a launch celebration at the Barber Institute, at the University of Birmingham. Speakers include a number of experts in Arabic texts and manuscripts. Some manuscripts from the Mingana collection will be on display. Admission is free, lunch and refreshments will be provided, but pre-registration is essential. If you are interested in attending, please contact Frouke Schrijver
(FXS821@bham.ac.uk)
Everyone and anyone on this list is welcome to come to the launch! There is some information about the project at http://arts-itsee.bham.ac.uk/vmrsite/. We are keeping the actual url under wraps as we work on the site; we will announce this on Tuesday evening, next week.
I hope to see some of you at the launch,
best wishes
Peter Robinson
