November 22, 2020 @ 17:00-18:30 (CET)
Abstract
Gabriele will introduce the students to the history of the discovery, the process of conservation and the contents of the manuscript collections retrieved from the Genizah of the Ben Ezra Synagogue of Old Cairo.
The AlchemEast project is devoted to the study of alchemical theory and practice as it appeared and developed in distinct, albeit contiguous (both chronologically and geographically) areas: Graeco-Roman Egypt, Byzantium, and the Near East, from Ancient Babylonian times to the early Islamic Period.
