Aims

Main themes

This lecture is based on a thorough study of pratistical and literary texts of Christian Arab communities living in Near and Middle Orient. It should be attended only by students who have a good level in Classical or Modern Arabic. This good level is required in order to translate and study problems of Arabic codicology.
