Speculum arabicum. Intersecting perspectives on medieval encyclopaedism
Edited by Godefroid De Callatay Edited by Mattia Cavagna Edited by Baudouin Van Den Abeele
Eclairages sur les sciences et la perception de l’alterite dans les encyclopedies medievales d’Orient et d’Occident.
Research on medieval encyclopedism has generated excellent results in various fields so far, but it still suffers at times from a propensity for compartmentalization, with the result that Arabists, Byzantinists, Latinists, and Romanicists are only rarely involved in common schemes. With this regard, the project “Speculum Arabicum: Objectifying the contribution of the Arab-Muslim world to the history of sciences and ideas: the sources and resources of medieval encyclopaedism” was funded from 2012 to 2017 by an ARC- Actions de Recherche Concertees at the Universite catholique de Louvain. The present volume includes 13 papers presented at the closing international symposium of the project.
