It introduces the general components of works made in an area stretching from the Mediterranean to India, as well as the materials used to produce them. Emphasis will be put on the analysis of visuals elements (layout, script, and painting) which testify to the different contexts of creation with geographical, historical, and linguistic particularities. Participants will not only learn to recognize the manuscripts’ original characteristics, but also identify traces which help to understand their later history and usage, such as signs of refurbishments and marks of ownership.</em></p>
