23-25 October 2024: Stefanie Brinkmann, Presentation on ideas for experiments with a manuscript in the Project "Paratexts Seeking Understanding"

The project “Paratexts Seeking Understanding” (PIs Garrick Allen, Christoph Scheper, Kelsie Rodenbiker) investigates from different angles what cognitive science and aesthetic cognitivism can add to our understanding of paratexts in manuscripts of different cultures. On the annual meeting, 23-25 October, Glasgow, Stefanie Brinkmann will discuss ideas for experiments with a manuscript with al-Baghawī’s hadith collection Maṣābīḥ al-sunna held at the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin (Ar. 4326, dated 642/1244-5). Stefanie Brinkmann is consultant in the sub-project “Words Upon Words. The paratext in the Islamic manuscript tradition: Forms, functions and cognitive values”, led by Asma Helali.
