ON LANGUAGES AND SCRIPTS IN THE OTTOMAN LEVANT
THE CASE OF FRANGOCHIOTIKA
Co-organized by the Institute of Habsburg and Balkan Studies of the Austrian Academy of Science, the Institute of Historical Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation & the Jesuit Library and Archive of Greece, this workshop will bring together archivists and librarians acquainted with the printed sources in Frangochiotika with specialists of cultural and religious history of the Early Modern Levant with the aim to reassess the uses of this idiom in the light of recent scholarship, to map the available bibliographical and archival resources, as well as to explore perspectives of further synergies and collaborations within a broader framework of research in the linguistic, cultural and religious pluralism of Early Modern and Modern Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean.
