The Teaching and Learning of Arabic in Early Modern Europe

This project is dedicated to the Teaching and Learning of Arabic in Early Modern Europe. In a number of events, publications and online-documentations we are discussing and presenting the European discovery of the Arabic language. The project is based at the Warburg Institute, London, and is lead by Professor Charles Burnett, Dr Jan Loop and Dr Nuria Martínez de Castilla Muñoz.

At the centre of this individual project is our repository and the historical map of Arabic teachers in early modern Europe. The repository is developed together with the Information Services at the University of Kent and with the Centre for the History of Arabic Studies in Europe (CHASE) at the Warburg Institute. Dr Berthold Kress (The Warburg Institute, London) and Dr Nuria Martínez de Castilla Muñoz are responsible for the setting up and the populating of the database
