The 2nd Berkeley Workshop on Middle Persian Documents & Sealings will take place online on October 10–11, 2024. This virtual workshop brings together scholars from around the world to discuss, analyze, and advance the study of the valuable, yet still under-appreciated, collections of Middle Persian texts and sealings stemming from late Sasanian and early Islamic Iran, the Levant, Central Asia, and Egypt. The presentations will showcase some of the most recent work on these textual and material corpora, raise new questions, revisit older studies, and offer summaries of the state of the art. We hope you will join us for this workshop and contribute to the discussion.
Presenters include: Nima Asefi, Alireza Askari Chaverdi, Thomas Benfey, Adam Benkato, Carlo G. Cereti, Aleksander Engeskaug, Iu Libin, Mohammad Reza Nemati, Olivia Ramble, May Shaddel, Esmail Sharahi, Martin Schwartz, Hossein Sheikh, Mihaela Timuş, Arash Zeini, and Alice Ziegler.
