Revisiting a remarkable example of Ottoman cultural cross-over, the 1601 Armenian 'abridged Bible' of Serapion of Edessa (r.), commissioned by the bishop and carried out by the scribe Hohannes and the illuminator Aslan; compare to the almost contemporary Zübdet üt-Tevarih (l.):
Sebouh Aslanian has the unique ability to weave through the personal and scholarly in his publications. This seems to be his most personal work so far. He comes from an Armenian-Ethiopian family involved in printing business.

“When the world lifts undistinguished people to prominence, don’t expect anything but the obscurity of noble people” – al-Buḥturī (d. 284/897), quoted by Naṣr Allāh Munshī (ca. 540/1146)

Coming soon! Blog series/data set. How did the author of the longest book in the OpenITI before 1500 do it? A detailed study of the Tarikh Madinat Dimashq by ‘Ali b. ‘Asakir (d. 1176). Text reuse and citation analysis w/ equivalent of a telescope and a microscope. @ERC_Research
For a scholarly exploration of the term, see Ross Brann’s wonderful article “The Moors?” here: brill.com/view/journals/… 5/5
Please, @nytimes, I am begging you: stop using the word “Moor” to refer to the medieval Muslim inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula. It has racialized connotations and suggests that the people of al-Andalus are an extinct group. 1/5 nytimes.com/2023/07/19/wor…
I was delighted to receive a copy of Ken Wolf’s new translation of the Indiculus luminosus by Paul Alvarus. This Latin text from 9th-c. Spain is a precious window into the history of Christian-Muslim relations and the Cordoba martyrs movement specifically. A great achievement! 1/
