Generell informasjon

This course is a cooperation between MF and The Norwegian Institute of Philology (PHI).
 
Islam is one of the world’s major religions, but it is also the common denominator of a civilization and culture which grew out of the Arab conquests in the 7th century AD. Islamic Philology is the study of the literary legacy of this civilization, focusing on the “classical” period in a broad sense, from the 7th to the 17th centuries AD. To understand Islamic history, religion and literature it is necessary to understand one or more Islamic languages. The course/reading group studies Islamic texts originally written in Arabic or Persian or any of the other major languages of Islamic history.
 
Participating in this course/reading group will give a thorough foundation for further studies of any topic concerned with Islamic studies.
 
Procedures and curricula:
PHI2500 is both a course for students and a research seminar/reading group for more advanced students and researchers. The curriculum is adapted to current interests of the participants, and can be textual material used by students in their M.A. and Ph.d. theses, or texts of interest to researchers in Islamic history and related subjects.
 
Prerequisites:
The PHI-courses in Classical Arabic or competence in either Classical Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Urdu or any other “Islamic” language constitute a good background for the course/reading-group. Ability to read at least one of the major Islamic languages is a prerequisite.
 
This course is also offered at the master level for students with a relevant bachelor’s degree. For more information, see the course description for PHI5500.
